14:58 Phrynne Sometimes the store minds itself
14:58 Tasha (natashafetishqueen) I just don't have any formal chairs
14:59 Caladon Rae (saeldurrae) ....does someone need to be down there?
14:59 Gronk Seriman It's an hour for the new people to get through the Plaza un-bothered.
14:59 Phrynne We can keep an eye on it with the MiniMap
14:59 Tasha (natashafetishqueen) nope... a joke
14:59 Gronk Seriman smiles
15:00 Tasha (natashafetishqueen) and other toys from Word
15:00 Caladon Rae (saeldurrae) Which reminds me. *presses a few buttons*

15:02 Caladon Rae (saeldurrae) fires up her ground-scanning playlist.
15:03 Tasha (natashafetishqueen) hey Ingo
15:03 Wordsmith Jarvinen Was just pinging Andrea. She's on in Avi, but may be wandering on the other side.
15:04 Wordsmith Jarvinen Welcome to this week's Oxbridge Deans' Q&A
15:05 Wordsmith Jarvinen This is an open meeting. All are welcome unless individual mis-behavior requires otherwise. Transcripts will be posted after the meeting. (Still haven't managed to get them done in advance.)
15:05 Wordsmith Jarvinen Phrynne, any thoughts or things to say?
15:06 Phrynne I don't have any actual report; I've spent much of the week missing being here, since I had a nasty case of eyestrain.
15:06 Phrynne But it's a little better, so I'm here now. I think I'll turn any Commons reporting over to Tasha.
15:07 Wordsmith Jarvinen Tasha, your turn. ;)
15:07 Tasha (natashafetishqueen) Thank you Word and Phrynne, and because of the USA starting DST I can be here for Q&A at a reasonable UK time.
15:07 Caladon Rae (saeldurrae) Yay for extra sunlight!
15:07 Tasha (natashafetishqueen) As you know, we are always looking for talented people to become tutors
15:07 Elfbiter Skysmith (elfbiter) Just passed midnight in my timezone
15:07 Tasha (natashafetishqueen) since Christmas we have had some wonderful people trying out as apprentice tutors
15:08 Tasha (natashafetishqueen) I would like to announce that we are promoting two of them to tutor
15:08 Tasha (natashafetishqueen) congratulations, Cal and Engel
15:08 - ̗̀ Teddy Bear ̖́- (atlasshrugged3) .-'`'-. APPLAUSE APPLAUSE APPLAUSE .-'`'-.
15:08 Caladon Rae (saeldurrae) *blinks*
15:08 Gronk Seriman Yay! Wooooo!
15:08 Tasha (natashafetishqueen) Engel unfortunately cannot be with us tonight
15:09 Ingonyama (tkb158) Woooo Hoooo!!!
15:09 Tasha (natashafetishqueen) but Cal is
15:09 Soup Jonson oh good!
15:09 Tasha (natashafetishqueen) the ongoing hunt continues
15:09 Wordsmith Jarvinen And Andrea has joined us in a big way.
15:10 - ̗̀ Teddy Bear ̖́- (atlasshrugged3) ..··•°•··..☺ LOL! ☺ ..··•°•··..
15:10 Tasha (natashafetishqueen) apart from that, we have had a lot of new people coming through
15:10 Tasha (natashafetishqueen) I think more than usual
15:11 Tasha (natashafetishqueen) and they are being greeted and helped
15:11 Tasha (natashafetishqueen) that about wraps it up
15:11 Wordsmith Jarvinen Most good. A few that got introduced to elsewhere.
15:11 Caladon Rae (saeldurrae) *snerks*
15:11 Tasha (natashafetishqueen) yep
15:11 Phrynne Some find their way home unexpectedly. :)
15:12 Tasha (natashafetishqueen) and Cal found the correct tag
15:12 Wordsmith Jarvinen Reminds me Tasha, that you are due an upgrade to the "Here Remover". (if your remove someone's 'here' then they must be there.)
15:12 Caladon Rae (saeldurrae) I kept blinking at it, thinking it was the nyquil messing with me
15:13 Tasha (natashafetishqueen) nope, all real
15:13 Wordsmith Jarvinen Just the deans of Oxbridge messing with you.
15:13 Wordsmith Jarvinen Andrea?
15:13 Caladon Rae (saeldurrae) That's a daily thing, Word.
15:13 Caladon Rae (saeldurrae) :P
15:14 Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) I had thought today I would say that the Patron program was all caught up. but, My notes on the payments from most of last year has disappeared. I'll need to re build the file.
15:15 Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) Then a nap from after lunch grabbed me and I'm a bit late
15:15 Phrynne hands Andrea the anti-headache meds
15:15 Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) can be done just will take time to redo.
15:16 Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) Hopefully I will come up with a fundraiser and get it done this week. It will be on the last week of the month

15:18 Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) looks back at Wordsmith
15:18 Wordsmith Jarvinen Thanks, Andrea.
15:21 Wordsmith Jarvinen I'm mostly on the quiet side this last week. I have Star's Inventory class back from Phrynne's and Samm's review and several faculty notecards to look at. I've also been catching up on Git repositories (version control) and push them up to Bitbucket.
15:21 Wordsmith Jarvinen That's pretty much it for me.
