Early morning walk; by early I mean, out the door at 7:30, back by 9. Cleaned the apartment. Then, as Betty who usually runs the writers meeting zoom had to go to the hospital unexpectedly yesterday, she asked me to be the zoom host. Of course I did.
I signed in to zoom using her and Jerry’s zoom id, and found the scheduled meeting, and clicked “start” and up it came. But she had sent out a zoom link to everyone earlier, so I used my other macbook to test that link. And of course it didn’t work. I don’t know why (very quietly, “she screwed up” but not going to say that out loud). So I had to get the correct link and email it to everybody with a subject line of NEW ZOOM LINK USE THIS ONE. Some got the message, some didn’t, and it was 11am before we managed to get everyone into the 10:45 meeting. Sigh. Anyway that all worked ok in the end.
After lunch I finished up preparing for the Contemporary Music Exposure meeting on Ed Sheeran. Which involved writing each attendee’s name on their lyrics packet (because having the printed lyrics is essential to understanding a song you are hearing for the first time) and getting a bunch of pictures of him off the web and putting them in folder so I could show them as a slide show on the big TV while the music played. Only somehow I messed that up, too. But it went well and the 25 people who attended all thanked me for setting it up.
