Chatterbox: Chirp at Cricket

ICS MUST RETURN!Guys,

ICS MUST RETURN!
Guys, it's time to discuss the time (sometime, we'll decide) and place (Cricket Chatterbox) of the... Next... INSTANT CHAT!!! I say Friday the 20th, 5-6 PM ET would be great. Not the week after cause I'm going to a camp and I'm not sure they'll have Internet there. Admins, how's that for you guys? If it won't work... the week after the week after? How's everyone else's availability shaped up?

Friday the 20th is not possible for any Admins. It's hard for us to commit to a date much in advance because we have so many responsibilities. If it needs to be late afternoon or evening, Tuesday and Wednesday are my best days for that, but not for a few weeks.

I think they should be on weekends during the school year, because people are not as scheduled.

Weekends are not good for Admins to do the Instant Chats. Am I right, Admin? Or have things changed?

 

You're right, Joe.

Oops.  Sorry.

I get home from school at about 5:45 or so, and then I have homework, so I might be able to get on for part of one if it were at six or somewhere thereabouts.

That time isn't very good for Red or me. Our school gets out at 2:50 (5:50 on the East Coast) and we don't get home until around 3:10 to 3:20. On Thursdays, our school gets out at 1:30 and we can be home by 2, so maybe we could do the Instant Chat on a Thursday?

So... 5PM on a Thursday down here in the city of brotherly love. Let me see... Thursday, September 26, 5 PM Eastern Time. Sounds okay... Wait! NO! I have to be @ fencing from 5:30 to 7:00, and leave right around the time this would start! Gah! Wednesday and Monday sound like good days... Monday, the 30th of September. 7 PM. I will have just come out of camp. But the wonderfull admins say... *take the cue, admins...*

Admin, you didn't take the cue! Why are you guys being so silent with comments about the next Instant Chat? You've only replied about this twice...

 

We're all very busy. It's hard for us to commit to a certain time in advance.

I have way too many extracurriculars, but if you name a date and time, I might be able to go.

Admin, for the next Instant Chat, are you now able to say something about the time of Monday, the 30th of September, 7 PM?

 

Yes, we definitely can't do it then. We're all too busy to commit to that. The evening Admin has a rehearsal every Monday. Sorry.

Joe, no attempt to be rude here, but the Admins have clearly stated multiple times that they are busy. They work hard to run CB at all, and Instant Chats have only, to my knowlege, happened a few times. Considering how enthusiastic we all were with the last two, I'd say it was because it is hard for the Admins to be there, and how hard it would be to coordinate such a thing. I'm thankful that I could see even one IC, and though it would be great to have another, I am not expecting it soon. I think that we should let it drop for awhile.
