USC Elections 2009 Preparations

It's a Monday, a working holiday yet there's no classes in UP at least where Monday is a free day (as in free beer, not free speech).

My phone's alarm clock woke me up about 10 in the morning. After turning off the alarm, I checked my inbox right away to check my daily agenda courtesy of Google Calendar. I was about to rejoice when I saw another item in my inbox reminding me of a 10am briefing with Ma'am Betsy (VC Enriquez) for the upcoming USC Elections 2009. What the!! I had to rush to the bathroom to take a bath and gussy up.



It was 10 minutes to 11am when I arrived for the briefing. I was very late, but someone came later than I did. Haha. The briefing was almost over - the IDs were already issued and our mobile phone credits were about to be distributed. We had mobile credits allocation for official use during the elections (e.g. for emergencies, urgent info dissemination, reporting, etc).

After the briefing, the group went to the Dilnet Helpdesk for report generation demonstration. Then we just fooled around the room 'cause there was an outstanding issue with the server. The server wasn't processing PHP files therefore we can't hop to our precints to demonstrate and check the accuracy of official ballots. It had to be postponed tomorrow.

Everything NEEDS to work as expected. The fallback plans are just too stressful.Good luck for us, the technical team.
