Official Round Table Thread (sign-up)

[Kristie]

ok, Doug and I talked and decided to keep the Roundtable on Tuesday. You'll have the entire room all day long to break up into focus groups or what not.

We think more time should be allotted for the speakers to talk. Doug thinks Walt will want more than just 10 minutes to discuss health related topics. Maybe we should change it to 20-30 minutes of talk, 10-15 minutes of QA?? or just keep it open and spontaneous as to when discussions start/end.

Question is: When do you want to start? 9AM, 10AM...earlier, later??

[ATN_Pilot]

9am? I believe the hangovers could present a problem for that.

[Kristie]

and the reason i'm asking is......

[H46Bubba]

Yeah now that there's no recruiting event before the main event Doug can let loose sooner!

[Kristie]

sorta...the guest speaker event is before the main event.

[Kristie]

ok... The roundtable event is set for 11AM on Tuesday.

So there I was all ready to tell the group that I would be there. I got the days off from work so it was clear sailing.....was. I get home tonight to find that I've got JURY DUTY that week. So basically I requested time off to be on a jury...oh well maybe next year.

Tell them you're out of the employed out of the country and can't fly home, unless they foot the bill. There has to be a loop hole...I'm serious! If the jury duty is actually for the city of Houston, on their website it says you can request a date change for jury duty.

I had a choice of weeks but since I just had to take leave to pick up after Hurricane Ike I don't want to have to use more for this or call in sick. They have to give us Jury Duty off but it comes out of the vacation bank. Anyway, I've been off for a month and dequaled already so I figured I better suck it up and do the jury duty on the off time. My only other choice was the following week and that started a long trip.

[Firebird2XC]

I'll be there.

Actually you probably have a bias because you really wanted to go to NJC and now someone has done, or not done something that will make you miss it. You are mad about that. So you probably shouldn't be on the Jury and instead come to NJC. Right?

That might work

I could do what my grandfather always did, just walk in and list all the people that I hate. The list included pretty much everyone on the planet to make sure he covered all the bases. He was always back in time for another round of golf with a group of people he just said he "hated" haha.

[Kristie]

Is everyone whose planning on attending the roundtable signed up? I only count 24 and we have 61 folks coming to the function??

just want to make sure because i have to count heads for chairs/table space and snacks.

and are we definitely going from 10am - 1 pm?

[BobDDuck]

10am to 1pm works

[ready2fly]

I'm in for a little while. I'll be leaving on Tuesday...gotta work.

[Aero_Engineer]

I'll be there for sure!!

[Cruise]

I'll definitely be there.....provided I actually make it to Vegas. Still don't have a schedule for the remainder of the month. Although, my vacation has been officially nixed at this point. I'm now reliant upon (s)crew scheduling to take care of me. For some reason, however, I'm not feeling the love at the moment.
