Hello folks, and welcome to another Friday. That means another question, and this week's is about something I used to do - Office Hours. If you never heard of this, I used to set aside an hour or two a week and jump on a live stream on our YouTube channel. People could join the stream and I'd chat about whatever. I'd also interact with the chat and do work on the future of First Edition. They were often fun, but usually sparsely attended and over time, I fell away from doing them.

But recently I've been thinking about bringing them back. Would you participate in a revived Office Hours program? What you entice you to watch and/or join? Or what would keep you away?

Sound off and share your thoughts with me... and gain strength from the sharing. Speaking of Sybok, stay tuned for a Project Status Update on Monday - the first one in 2021! What? How is that possible? I know it shocked me. And keep an eye on North American Continentals this weekend in Orlando, Florida - good luck to all who play down there.

I don't mind criticism of decisions we as a department have made. I wouldn't be a very good leader if I did. Hopefully, it was an enjoyable discussion for others.

My attendance is more a function of "what else is going on" and "did I remember the show is on".

I can't remember seeing one I didn't enjoy, though.

I nearly always want to be on for office hours; it is more a question of what life will let me do...

It's not the format for me, as I eschew both human contact and human hours of operation, and I have too much trouble concentrating to do anything else during a livestream.

But I don't begrudge it to anyone else! So please don't take my "I would never" vote as discouragement. I also never listen to non-fiction podcasts, but I'm not trying to cancel Michael Barbaro.

(Well... actually, I'd love to cancel Michael Barbaro, most annoying voice in radio, replace him with Kai Ryssdal maybe... BUT I DIGRESS.)

I honestly don't know how they do it. I just concentrate on the kibitzing. :)
