Dear Class,

I'll be waiting for you in the voting booth....errr...scratch that. I meant my office. Speaking of that, I never even thought about it or even imagined that there could be a possible conflict this evening. I wish you short lines and its probably a blessing that this class will be online, so if you have to come and go, that will make it more convenient for you.

If you have any problems (electoral or otherwise) this afternoon, you can call me. I'm going to give you my land line and my cell (see your email). Cecily, please don't write that number down unless it's on the picture of a saint and burnt later or on the back of a small stamp and then rolled into a ball and swallowed.

I hope that you can find your way up to my office on the sixth floor which has the name, Eric Groves' Office or EricG_Ofc .

In reprise; once you log in and appear in Reception, you can click on the "In this building" link in the left pane of the window. Then you'll see "6 TI Technology Education Offices Floor" with a link TI Tech & Voc Edu Ofc Lobby beside it. Click on it. Then again on the left pane, you'll see "On this floor" and again, click on that. You'll see an alphabetic list of offices. If you click on one of the links "skip to 5" you'll find links to my office listed there.

The other thing you can do is log into TI as you and once in the lobby type in "/joinperson EricG"or type "/join Eric Groves' Office" and then press the enter button in either case.

Whatever you do, do not get shook! Just call one of the above numbers and remember both of them may be busy (although I find that hard to believe) momentarily. Be patient.

...more to come...

Oh yes, when you arrive at the center, remember where you parked your car in their lot. Because of the recent time change, it'll probably be dark when you go back out after class and who knows who could be out there...maybe even a large and confused trick-or-treater from Tewksbury High School. How frightening is that?
