Every week I say... "Next Week!  I'm going to MAKE THE COMMUNITY CALL".  Then every week, my calendar (which I unfortunately have less control over than my kids) fills up.  Thursday afternoon is a very popular time in my world evidently.  I may be able to call in late, but please feel free to talk disparagingly about me while I'm not there... and ....

NEXT WEEK !  I'M GOING TO MAKE THE COMMUNITY CALL!!"  (Wait... next week is month end accounting close week... DRAT!~  )

Don't forget the Actual v. Actual; Actual v. Forecast, Forecast v. Forecast; YTD v. Budget, and P&L Flux Analysis Bridges and Variance Explanations 

@GolfSpy_BOS knows what I'm talking about... though he may be too busy at the moment swimming with dolphins.

Don't even get me started on the Product Line Revenue Price and Volume Variance Impacts and Sensitivity Analyses.   ahah.

Damn ... I'm on my way home from work at that time!  No chance it can be moved to say around 6 pm, could it? 

[GolfSpy_KFT]

I will be missing this one today as it’s my oldest son Myles’ 6th birthday! Getting out of work early and hoping he wants to play a little golf. I am planning to be on the call next week though and will be able to talk through my fitting with the Cobra rep if anyone will be interested to hear about it instead of just reading it when we start to post for the challenge

Sorry that is midnight my time so a no go.

10pm start time is late enough.

Maybe soon @GolfSpy_SAM will get the West Coast Swing Show live and find a time for those others to fit.

I know enough about finance dealing with them (one of the finance folks just pinged me on teams he must have heard me complaining because today is quarter close) to know I don’t want to be in finance

Really excited for our call tonight.

I have got a bunch of messages reaching out about various things and expect to see several new faces on the call. Should be a lot of fun and for all those who have never heard of this here is a quick run down.

We as a group meet up each Thursday for a google meet call to talk about the forum, golf and well a whole lot else. If you have questions about testing, different things on the forum or on going reviews etc please drop in and ask away!

The normal size of the group that joins is about 12-15 so don't feel intimidated we are all here because of the forum and what it provides. 

Hope to see some new names and faces there and look forward to a fun discussion and hopefully some good questions!

I'll be listening from my desk like last time, school drop off makes my Thursdays a little later in the office. 

[TSauer]

Is it frowned upon to jump in the call and be a lurker in the shadows and just listen to what's going on? 

Thursdays are the only days in the office, unfortunately. 

[GolfSpy AFG]

Going to have to miss this one to get junior to baseball practice.  Hope everyone has a good chat!

You can still dial in.   I have called in from the course and several of us have called in on a commute home from somewhere.  Google meet works on a phone

Nope not frowned upon,  I just listen in when I am at the course for league night.   
 

[cnosil]

It will be nice to be able to join and participate in the call this week.  No league and most wanted testing was cancelled for tonight….just have to hope the wife and daughter don’t come up with something

That's if I had an Iphone.  I don't even have the app on my Android, nor a GMAIL account for Google.  It's more of a PITA than I want to deal with

This is totally me. Ever since I found out about these I've been trying to get on and work or life have just flat out told me no. Hoping this is the week, but we're having storms here and that makes work hectic so I don't know if I can take my break whenever I want to now.

[Tom the Golf Nut]

I’m traveling today so I probably won’t be on the call. But I said that last time too and I called in from the airport terminal. We shall see. 

[KC Golf]

Will try to join this today… 

[Garbox80]

Oh, wow. Just joined and now I see this. I may join to listen, but since others in my household will be in sleep at that point (11pm for me), I'd better be quiet.

Welcome to the forum! The community calls are always a good time, and even if you can only listen in, I would say it's definitely worthwhile. You'll get a lot of good information on what is going on currently with the forum as well as typically some information on upcoming things. I have to miss today, but typically tune in every week. We always encourage more people to join in!

[ZMendle10]

I just stumbled upon this and am gonna try and join in on my way home from work. What's the topic for tonight?

Congratulations on your first post and how epic being on the Community Call thread where it is one of the few places we actually get together and see and hear each other!  Welcome in and hope you find the best kinds of friends in the Forum as I have 

[TylorJudd]

Literally when my break ends. Oh well
