All about my inane ideas

Monday, October 29, 2012

I was reading the minutes from the UW Senate meeting that took place in mid-October (my first ever; we were praised for our quick comprehension of the remote voting buttons; bravo, over-educated us) and I recalled that during the "wolne wnioski" part of the meeting (the last part, when the floor is open for any new business) one senator asked the Rector if there were changes foreseen to improve the technological infrastructure of the Senate meeting room. The Rector then began explaining that laptops were welcome, and as long as Senators vote and do not appear to be browsing facebook during meetings, he has no problem with us bringing our equipment into the meeting. Eyes turned toward those few in the room who were typing away (presumably recording the discussion for the benefit of their constituents). Then the senator said, "Well, specifically, I was asking about power outlets." The Senate meeting room has no available power outlets. So the Rector replied, "Hhmmmm."

This exchange was not recorded in the minutes.
