a flurry of activity

[totient]

As part of my role as corporate treasurer, I oversee Arisia's Paypal accounts. Mostly this means I get a couple of email messages a day from Paypal which I then use to make sure that the money goes to the con (from memberships) instead of to the equipment fund (from unloading unneeded cruft on eBay).

deguspice just posted to a widely-read mailing list about the prereg rate expiring at midnight tonight. We've sold 8 memberships in the 15 minutes after I saw his email.

Nothing like the last minute, eh?
