The team working on this particular project are in the middle of an offsite 6 week training course.

The problem is, as I have come to realise, things happen at the last minute.  So whilst this training course is already half-way through, various requests have arisen like sorting these guys out with car hire etc. 

It makes me wonder how my predecessor handled this before?  After the re-org, she moved with her boss to his new role.

I have tried several times asking the project managers to ensure I have all the details I need when organising travel and other aspects for such an event, but it seems to fall on deaf ears and I am left doing things at the last minute and I get funny looks when I tell them that I need a turnaround period to get it all actioned.

I got so frustrated last Thur/Fri with this particular individual that I explained my predicament, and as usual with men, he assumed I got out of the wrong side of the bed.  That's not me.  I only get annoyed when others don't allow me time to do my job.  They think I can magically sort everything with a minutes notice.

Peaches - I like the rental comment, I might use that next time.

Marie - I am the admin support for any projects that fall under the remit of my boss's business area, so I'm afraid I am it as regards booking travel, and any other requirements.
