A Question
For you
Sunday night is probably not the best night to hold our weekly Zoom gathering, Rummer & Grapes, but I chose it because it is the only night of the week that we can be assured that nothing Masonic is happening. Particularly as I was traveling to Lodges so frequently when it began years ago.
So, Sunday night it remains.
But I do wonder about the time.
I don’t want to hold it very late here on the west coast, because that makes it too difficult for those on the other side of the country to attend.
I can’t help but notice though that we’ve never actually started right at 7:30, most aren’t signing in until 7:40 or later. And the past few weeks, that start time has grown later.
So, I’m wondering if 8:00 PM would be better for everyone.
Please take a moment to let me know in the poll below:
Let me know what would work better for you.
And as always, Thank You, for your support of Emeth!
This is sort of difficult to answer. I don't think the time matters to me all that much. I either show up at 7:30, or I completely forget it's happening because I'm doing something else and before I know it's it's well after 8pm.
I would keep it at 7:30. I think there will always be stragglers no matter the start time, especially with it being on a weekend day. For me, I pay a lot of attention to the actual time during the weekdays, mostly because schedules are tighter. On weekends, unless times tend to be "-ish", and it is very easy to lose track of time precisely because "-ish" mostly works on weekends.
I know that I personally can be in the middle of something, completely focused and suddenly my wife will ask "weren't you going to _____" ?
Yesterday was an anomaly for me where I was actually really aware of time all day, and had another zoom immediately before yours.
My personal yardstick is +/- 5 minutes of start time, or 10 if I'm really interested in the topic teaser. If I'm later than that, I'll catch the next one.
