Jeffrey has pointed out to me that the meeting I scheduled for Monday the 9th was actually scheduled after that, on Friday the 13th. I guess that is why no one showed up, in the past before I did the scheduling.
So, I’ve rescheduled the meeting for this afternoon, at 1pm in the Santorini conference room. Note I did the rescheduling for this in the past, on Friday in response to Jeffrey’s comment today. So there’s still some chronological bugs to work out in the system.
However the meeting is scheduled for a time in the future, both in the future at the time of scheduling as well as the future for me writing this email. Therefore I feel the important parts of the process are working.
