First thing I was to meet with Joe because somehow in working on his computer yesterday I had messed up the setup that he is absolutely habituated to, the only way he knows to use it. So he said last night, so we agre were ed I’d be at his door at 8am. I called his room, he didn’t answer. So at 8:05 I went down to the dining room and intercepted him just coming out. “It’s all working fine now,” he says. So I didn’t need to come by. Thanks for letting me know, Joe.
Next up was a 10am zoom meeting with Gerald and Tom of IT to go over issues with the current quote for auditorium work. It was only small things I was concerned about and we resolved most of them. The next round of the quote should be acceptable, although less than I had originally hoped for.
That meeting ended at 10:40, and at 10:45 I was due in the Auditorium for a Marketing Event. I was one of four residents to assist at a luncheon for prospective new residents. About 40 people were there, the majority having paid a fee to be on our waiting list. That’s a new thing, people put money down to have an assigned spot on the list, and to specify the exact type of apartment they want. So if a 2BR unit comes open, it is offered to everybody on the paid list who wants a 2BR, and only then to people who haven’t paid.
Anyway I was at table 4 with a pleasant couple from San Francisco. They know CH because his mother lived here; she passed in 2018. After a 20 minute marketing slide show we four residents, me and Sally and David G. and Helen, went on stage and answered questions from our marketing person, and then from the audience. It was all fun and good humored. Then we got lunch.
By 2pm I was back at home. Later I got a call from Peter asking for help planning the use of the zoom room in the conference room, so after supper we met there and contended with Zoom generally for an hour. Zoom really makes it hard to sort out all your settings.
