Today was the second Staff Meeting, out at FaF. I didn't go into the office today because I decided the best way to get all the equipment out to FaF from Manhattan would be to drive my car into the City, coerce my co-workers into meeting me on the street to load my car, and drive out to Brooklyn. So that's what I did. The Meeting was in the afternoon, but I was there around noon to help set-up, buy snacks and do last minute preparations.

The Meeting itself was not as good as Tuesday's. I couldn't decide if it was the crowd or the environment, but something was off. I think it might have been a combination of the two things: the more direct service-focused staff in addition to the hugeness of the warehouse we were sitting in, despite the close circle we were in. Plus, it was an afternoon session (beginning at 2.00), and as any Professor will tell you, it's hardest to get your students to pay attention in afternoon classes than any other time slot of the day.

I was working today for about 6 hours.
