0:00 welcome to ANI in the air under the sky and around Baltimore your daily podcast
0:05 briefing of all the goings-ons ins and arounds arts and ideas Sudbury school so
0:09 today we finished packing up tent cover that was fun lots of stuff going on with
0:15 that propping it up on chairs having fans running I was quite impressed the
0:21 the by the time we were done propping everything up it looked like a little
0:27 playground there and a couple students asked if they could go under there and we
0:31 said no but you know no one did so that was quite impressive because I got to
0:37 tell you I get claustrophobic and I was tempted to go under there not really but
0:42 you know if I was eight I would but yeah anyway uh not sure how well we did
0:51 actually the drying job but we did get it into the bag we had a number of hands
0:56 to help we folded it up rolled it up put it in the bag put it in the basement
1:02 next to the dehumidifier and we'll see how that goes all right what else
1:08 happened today oh we had a long JC today five cases all involving new people
1:14 mainly the same new people there's always some keeps us on our toes I went
1:20 fairly well and you know anyone listening to this who wants to be JC a
1:26 school meeting clerk please let me know right now you know I'm the backup but
1:32 there's no primary so I'm just it so hopefully one day we can go back to
1:39 normal and have lots of people doing these things I understand that right now
1:43 it's pretty difficult to run these things clerks we had before did a great
1:47 job but stressful tiring and yeah so I get it but it would be wonderful for
1:58 someone else to come over all right um let's see on the school meeting we had
2:03 today she could be the last one of being uh in person for a bit we had
2:12 announcement about Sun printing workshop on for online students you know if you
2:20 want to get some Sun prints you know and and you do some stuff with them and
2:24 whatever Caroline will be happy to drop them off message Caroline on discord we
2:33 approved a holiday holiday shop near Christmas time the idea is the week
2:41 before Christmas or winter break I should say could sell some stuff down
2:47 there the idea is to make some handmade ornaments this is of course if we come
2:52 back in person if we don't come back in person then you know it doesn't happen
2:55 so hopefully we'll get the chance we'll see we also amended the rule computer
3:02 assignment basically to say after someone leaves or if they're not gonna
3:10 be here at all the assigned computer can go to you know becomes a free computer
3:16 otherwise you can't use the computer and then also if you want to you know if
3:22 you're assigned a computer and you want to use a different computer you have to
3:30 unsign up for the one that you were signed and then sign up for the new one
3:35 this is all pending my implementation and on a cut oh of that kind of
3:41 functionality it hasn't really happened yet but and then we also and this is a
3:49 little bit of a sadness approved a leave of absence for Josh K our staff Josh
3:58 basically his child care fell through so he's not able to even do the online
4:06 clerking that he had been doing he asked to basically just take care of his
4:10 six-month-old baby all day long so I'm sure he will have great fun doing that
4:17 but we certainly miss him and we hope that that situation can be resolved
4:21 quickly so you can come back and be part of the school soon we'll see and we also
4:31 proved for the school to sponsor a family for Marion house basically these
4:40 are think it might be people fleeing domestic violence or certainly people on
4:47 hard times and you know they it's kind of a way of they kind of give a wish
4:54 list of stuff and then you know we put it out to our community and our
4:58 community then goes forth and gets the items and then we deliver them to
5:10 appropriate people all right so that was school meeting and then yeah after that
5:17 we packed up the tent at a discussion about some discussions about what what
5:26 what we might do online differently than we did last time so that was hopefully
5:33 interesting and useful later in the day I saw some performance going on in the
5:42 field with some of the younger ones and very happy audience supporting them so
5:47 that was nice we've had boiler worked on the past couple days and apparently
5:58 there's still some work that needs to be done could actually be good timing it's
6:03 sounds like they may need to shut off the water and gas at some point to fully
6:09 complete the repairs of what's going on and so you know being fully online next
6:18 week will be quite convenient if that happens so that's nice always always
6:24 happy to see that what else so oh yes I also did a talk about Tuesday today
6:32 podcast you can check that out it's about laughter there's a bit where I'm
6:36 trying to belly laugh I don't know how well that comes out over a microphone
6:39 but um you know it's good to practice belly laughing I think it's helps keep
6:45 the mind nimble and so yeah so have a good one and talk to you another day bye
6:57 bye
