Did the laundry. In between loads, I wrote a long email to Patty and Bert about the 11th floor that we are planning for. I was busy all morning and I can’t remember on what. Emailing back and forth setting up a date with Joanne for Saturday was the least of it. Started work on editing a video from the book talk last Monday.
The 6th floor monthly meeting was at 4:30. Elvyra, the new COO, visited. Various issues were discussed, like, housekeeping isn’t keeping our laundry room and other common spaces as clean as they used to.
At 7:00 I went to the auditorium where David M was setting up to run an event, and the Zoom Room was failing again, but in a new way. It just couldn’t see the cameras. Zoom users saw a black screen. We couldn’t resolve it. The event was Sarah Dean, the new artistic director of the Pear Theater. She had some nice slides and those went out on zoom, but no camera view of the speaker. I don’t know how many attended via zoom. There were about 50 physically in the room. The typical Zoom audience is between 10 and 20. Frankly I’m a bit tired of Zoom Room being flaky.
