Had a meeting with Gerald of IT and Rhonda re various auditorium improvements. The added cameras will cost $17K and are “in-plan” and should happen soon. Two different approaches to the sight-line problem, where the closed captions on the bottom of a movie screen are blocked by the heads of the people in the front rows, are way too expensive and probably won’t happen.
Several people accosted me yesterday and today asking would I be sure to turn on the big tv on the 11th floor for the debate. It is not rocket science, people. But I did that about 2pm. Went back to check at 3:45 and some helpful person had turned it off again. Sigh. Oh, I suppose now (8:30) I should go turn it off. Probably somebody already did.
At 4pm I met with my AV committee to assign events for July. We chatted about this and that. Shared the news about the cameras.
Watched as much of the debate as I could stand in my room. Bottom line: Biden is too old, and Trump is a dangerous lunatic.
