That's life today...

Well this day just got off to a LOVELY start!

All I had to go was go to a Wimba Classroom meeting with some folks to discuss metadata for an organization I'm in. Straightforward, right? Well, when we arrived, the room was still being prepared for us, so we were hanging out in the Lobby, the room is created, and everyone piles into it...except...the room does not appear in my list! Restarted everything, switched computers several times while I'm missing out on what I'm sure was a great discussion. I'm either cursed or obtuse this morning, and I'm not sure I like the implications of either!
