Wednesday Morning Chat

[bethcooks4u]

We talked about doing a Wednesday morning chat and 9am I believe was the time mentioned. I just realized that we all have different times so how does 10 am eastern sound? Since PC is on central time I thought that would be least confusing. That would be 10est, 9central and 8whatever is next (is that pacific or???

What do you all think?

[cmdtrgd]

That would make it 7am Pacific. I believe I mentioned 11am Eastern, 10am Central, 9am Mountain and 8am Pacific - does that work?

[pamperedbecky]

Chances are, I may not be home in time tomorrow. The 7 am would probably be a little early for the pacific time zone. Athough I've lost track of where everyone is from. I'm central time. I'd love to chat though! Maybe once my daughter starts up a Wednesday park district thing after Labor Day, it would work for me. Just like we tell our hosts....not everyone is going to be able to make it.:o

[bethcooks4u]

That would make it 7am Pacific. I believe I mentioned 11am Eastern, 10am Central, 9am Mountain and 8am Pacific - does that work?

Oh, okay! That works for me too. - so I'll get on at 11 Eastern...

I'm sure it's work out great once we get going with it. Some weeks we'll have more and others fewer - just like our other team and director meetings!

Maybe we can choose a topic to discuss each month so we have a focus. What do you all think?

[Chef Chrissy]

I was out yesterday and missed it!

Will this be a definite every Wednesday at 11:00 AM?

Please let me know, I would like to participate.

Thanks.

[bethcooks4u]

I plan on trying to be on every Wednesday that I can, for one. We'll have to see how it works out and then decide if that's just right or too often.

I think it might be nice if we picked a topic to discuss each time so we can all have an idea of where the discussion might lead.

I wish there was a way that those coming on later could see what has been typed before they got there so they could catch up with the conversation easier.

I won't be able to make it on Wednesday's. I will be returning to work 3 days a week from 8-1:45 on M,W,F. I'm dying for some cash flow down here!! I also want a new car so that motivates me.:money:

[bethcooks4u]

I guess we should have sent out a reminder! I missed you all this morning!

[cmdtrgd]

DOH! I'm in New York and totally forgot it!!! I was at the American Girl store with my mom shopping for my nieces...WOW what a store!

[Admin Greg]

Was anyone at the chat?

[cmdtrgd]

I don't think anyone made it... I had a booth at a Job Fair, so I wasn't there. I believe Beth forgot, too. It is on my calendar and I'll be putting the reminder in the shout box on Monday....is there a way to send out an email reminder about it? It was so nice the one week I made it!

[bethcooks4u]

Several of us made it that first week, I was alone the second and I don't think anyone was on since that. I have put it on my calendar too so that I don't forget!

Some kind of reminder would really be nice... The shout box isn't a bad idea but I for one jump right to the "today's posts" and often miss what's on there. Greg, I thought you once said something about being able to send out an email reminder??

[Happy Chef]

I couldn't make it I was golfing.

[cmdtrgd]

There were two of us. I was late, but we had a pretty good chat!

[chefkugler]

Yes we did, thank you Kate!

[bethcooks4u]

I won't be on the chat tomorrow (at least I didn't FORGET!). I was thinking 9am and I made a 10am appointment and won't get home until at least noon. That's eastern and here the chat starts at 11 - :rolleyes:

I'll get it together one of these days! Have a good chat and don't talk about me - unless it's good!

[cmdtrgd]

I know I'll be talking about the new promotion!!!!

[chefkugler]

Sorry I missed it this week. I woke up this morning with the hives. Ended up at the Doctors during the chat time and spent the rest of the day sleeping.
Not a very FUN day!:(

[cmdtrgd]

Oh, you poor thing! Did you figure out where the hives came from?

[chefkugler]

No, that is the best part. When the medication wore off, I was covered again. This has to end! I have 2 shows still this week and don't want to go looking like a freak.:yuck:

[bethcooks4u]

I am sorry I missed the chat today. Was anyone on? I know "leggy" was in the room and clicked out at the same time I clicked in.:cry:

I was on a group coaching call that went over a bit and then my mind wandered...:o By the time I realized it the time was 11:43.:eek:

[cmdtrgd]

Ugh! I take hubby to work and when he doesn't want to get up on time, my schedule is backed up!

[legacypc46]

no problem, we'll catch up next week. i was going to stay for the full hour, but DH came home a little early and we needed to get some things done. sorry i missed you two!

[chefkugler]

I wish I could make a chat. We attend a playgroup on Wed's from 10-12 EST. So now I'm there at that time. Sorry:(

[Admin Greg]

I popped in the chat at about 10. Only one other person in there. I sent out an email. Was anyone there at 8?

[bethcooks4u]

I didn't get the email. :confused:

We were supposed to get on at 10 central time but we all seem to have a problem getting there. I remember 2 hours earlier and then get busy by the time!:eek:

Suggestions welcome!

[legacypc46]

I'm sorry I missed it. My life is a little upside-down right now. I've marked my calendar for next week though!

[bethcooks4u]

Well, I got here late again today - 45 minutes late. I was on a call with my mentor team (they picked the day/time) and it ran over.

Did anyone get on today?? Is this going to ever work out?

[legacypc46]

I missed it...we changed to daylight savings last weekend and I couldn't get my time straight. I signed in a couple times thinking I had it right, but no one was there. :(

[bethcooks4u]

Is everything okay? You mentioned that things are upsidedown for you.

Take care!

[legacypc46]

Thanks for asking Beth...we're moving on short notice and it's really posing some challenges on the director side of things (and challenges in general!)

We're happy to be moving though. :party:

[bethcooks4u]

Are you coming back to the states?

HEY GREG!!! We need a hug smilie!!

[legacypc46]

yep, we're returning early next month...will send you an update via PM in a day or two (the 'where' keeps changing on me and everything is pretty hectic this week...it's a sudden move, but a good one)

[bethcooks4u]

Well, once again I missed the chat time! I was late (like 45 minutes) on my mentor group call too today!

I am overwhelmed. We have our Christmas at Thanksgiving and I am no where ready for everyone coming to stay, shopping, wrapping, cooking... nothing's done yet and I only have until Monday! AND I have people coming to measure for carpeting in the next 2 days - lol (DH wants it laid in early December - no pressure honey, I don't have enough to do.) Oh, yeah... and then there's my business to attend to! I always do at least 6 shows a month but only have 3 in November and 3 in December after cancellations. I have only done one of the November shows so far and it doesn't close until Monday. Second show is this Saturday morning and 3rd will be Monday after they leave. Yikes!

Okay, so this was another vent! I know... get off the computer then! This is my version of a coffee break! I am waiting for DHL to come back with a delivery they attempted yesterday - probably my son's new computer (did I tell you that both my and my son's computers died about a week apart?) and the first carpet guy. Oh... I better get back to work - iron has probably shut itself off!

Okay...so I wasn't done venting! I feel better now.

PS: I won't be on the chat next Wednesday because of our Thanksgiving celebration. Have a blessed Thanksgiving! I am thankful for all of you!

[cmdtrgd]

I was thinking we should probably postpone the chats until the third week of December or something like that - after the deadline for orders.
