Planning a luncheon event at work. About 450 people coming. Some companies are buying tables, some are people coming by themselves, some want to sit with certain people and not with others, some are paying now, some are paying at the door, some are paying partial, some are comps, some are scholarships... This is like a math word problem that Excel is helping me sort out. On top of all that, some companies have a list of guests, some don't, some won't know until the day of the event. And an exact count is needed to order the right number of lunches + an estimation of walk-ins that day. This is so left-brained that it's making me crazy, but at the same time, it's kinda fun, too.
