[Deptheads] we need a quartermaster

[Evil5757 at aol.com]

Actually, I was going to suggest going to the 50 gallon rolling containers  
that we now use for Plus Ten To Awesome equipment. They are on rollers, 
solid,  and lockable = about $60 each at Home Depot.

If I may  make a suggestion - any cardboard boxes still being used to carry 
Con supplies  should be retired in favor of soft-lockable plastic crates. 
They generally run  ~$10 at any Hardware store (or Fry's), and would nearly 
eliminate the  possibility of a box coming apart while being moved.

Some people got lax and the new people coming in didn't  know. We needed a 
quartermaster for quite some time.
Volunteers are sent to pick up stuff for a dept. and grab what  looks 
right. Most stuff is not marked. The 4 boxes for collectables, 1  for miniatures, 
several for registration, and 3 containers for  boardgames are the only 
ones marked and sealed. There is much more than that  and it's all unmarked. If 
it isn't marked and sealed it may be  grabbed by mistake. A quartermaster 
will make sure all boxes are marked  when dropped off, all non-boxed items 
are marked, and everything is picked  up by right dept. AND everything is 
retured to be loaded on monday (like  fans).........and I will tell you right 
now I won't miss unloading  the truck thursday night, Eric N. won't miss 
loading it, and Eric A. won't  miss loading it, unloading it, then loading it 
again monday (triple duty).  Hurray for getting a quartermaster.

All this stuff going missing illustrates the need for  someone who's sole 
job is dealing with all our stuff. It would be a senior  staff position with 
a lot of authority, and almost all the work could be  done pre/end con, so 
the individual could game to their hearts  content.

Requirements:

1. Driver's license and the ability to  drive large vehicles.
2. Excellent organization skills.
3. Physically  fit enough to handle the rigors of load in/out.
4. Local to the greater  L.A. area

Duties

Inventory our equipment. Should be checked  when loading in and loading out.
Arrange transport of the equipment on  late Thursday/early Friday to the 
con.
Arrange transport of the equipemnt  on mid Monday from the con.
Arrange storage facilities to store said  equipment.

The ideal candidate would be an ex supply sergeant  type.

Obviously, they'd have access to volunteers to help load/unload  during the 
show.

We need someone sooner rather than later, and they  will have to be local 
(many of our problems stem from the fact I have to  handle a large chunk of 
these duties).

If anyone wants this job or  knows of some who might, let me know  ASAP.

Eric

"I think not," replied Descartes, and promptly  vanished.
