Gerita will be there.  We need to know if the Chirurgeon camp will have
electricity.  If not, then we'll have to camp in handicapped camping.
David's CPAP doesn't like the marine-battery fix.....

To All

As for staff the final list is up to Caelin but the early-on family is
whoever is traveling with you as per last year. They pay full price but come
on early and are expected to help at few hours on Sunday with final prep or
on Monday morning getting everybody else on. And we need 20 people
registered by 1 JAN with the Camping with section stating Chirurgeon to have
land.

If anyone would like to camp with the chirurgeonate please sign up when you
register for GW and also drop me a line if you can so I know the #s and whom
to expect.

As far as Gulf War, David plans to travel with us this year, so I'd be
grateful to get an early-on slot.  I'll work - that much I promise.  If we
need a training schedule this year, I'll help with it - I actually enjoy
teaching FA/CPR, as long as I can be COD for at least one battle.  I, too,
will be going a little easier this year.  With the collapse I had at the
Chirurgeon Party (imagine the Nerve!) last year, I want to be able to pace
myself a little so it doesn't happen again.  A warmer cloak will certainly
help...

Arkell - what's news on a Chirurgeon camping area?  With David along, I'll
have to camp wherever we can get reliable electricity so his CPAP doesn't
throw fits.

Subject: Re: Training entries on web site

 Well to be honest my internet at the house has been sparce at best. The
apartment complex I live in is contracted to grande com communications and
needless to say, they bite.

My work computer can not let me get into your site because it is password
protected, our system administrator states some hospital policy whenever I
ask about it.

So in the future, I will try to at least put up a training site and will
attempt to update as my schedule as time allows me.  I have worked over 64
hours in Harlingen this week where I do not even have hospital based
computer access as well as 16 hours in corpus at the main driscoll hospital.
Last weekend I was CICing Autumn Melees for 4 days. I was working Tues - 16
hrs, Thanksgiving- 30 hours and this weekend. Harlingen - 34 hours, where I
am right now.

So needless to say I think maybe ya'll should start looking for a more
accessible training DKC or I need to appoint a deputy to the deputy real
soon. I gotta tell you, pretty soon RN classes and full time Driscoll is
going to take me way out of the SCA loop of things completely.

I will do any training I can but quite frankly I need a secretary. I can not
convince Gavin to be my secretary he is in EMT - B class 3 nights a week. I
am swamped at work and I am swamped in the SCA. The second weekend in
December, I will be at Stargate Yule teaching a full course and then on
Sunday I am CICing the Seawinds Demo Ingleside Ren- Faire. 

I have been asked to help the Loch next weekend because our fine coastal
regional is not assisting them in any way shape or form by ignoring emails.
I feel like I am doing double duty here as your training deputy / part-time
coastal regional chirurgeon... not by choice.

So I'll tell you what, give me until Febuary. If I can't make it any better
I will gladly step down as DKC at that time because ..... I am not making
it.

Caelin, if you want to find another point director for GW XV I will not be
offended. I will gladly hold the chirurgeon party but by gulf wars I am
going to need a serious break from work.  Do not expect me to work 64 +
hours like last year. I will go in early as Gavin's family and you can give
my early on position to someone that can better dedicate their time to the
chirurgeon point job of finding affordable supplies, hauling those supplies
to GW, accounting supplies at site, accounting for first aid bag boxes /
bags, re-stocking those supplies, convincing fellow chirugeons to sign up
for shifts,  checking in daily ( sometimes hourly ) to fill chirurgeon spots
and take inventory, doing the nightly posting on the chirurgeon assisgnment
dry erase board for the coming day and last but not least re-loading the
tubs ( without perishables) and hauling them to the storage shed.

I will gladly teach just the chirurgeon classes and plan the known world
chirurgeon party, but I will take a class this year, see the heralds, and
have the energy to go English court dancing at least one night. 

You have now witness chirurgeon burn out. Sick of the politics and feeling
of all good efforts being abused. Try to avoid this happening in others will
you.

Subject: Training entries on web site

I found many other problems with the existing postings. I suspect they were
put up before the locations were available (I hope that is the case), but
they did not have map references, street addresses, or zip codes. I fixed
them all. When you create an entry where we are teaching at an event, go to
the event, get the address, put it into your favorite mapping software
(Yahoo, Mapquest, Google, etc) and put a reference in the appropriate slot.
Fill in the street, city, state, and zipcode fields appropriately. If your
students cannot find your class, they will not appear. 

Watch out for things like StarGate Yule 2005's map. It was taken from Google
and is hosted from the StarGate site. This is against SCA policy. Even if it
was not, it is a disservice to your students as they only get the one view
of the map. If you reference the source site, they can zoom in and out and
move around as then need to find landmarks they know. 

If you don't have information, go ahead and dummy it up, but please remember
to go back periodically and check to see if the information is available.
The Stargate class, for instance, is only about a week away and the data has
been available for some time.

------------------------------------

Please remember to put in "Software Innovation" into the Vendor area when it
is appropriate. I just added it to two entries. Training in SCA things for
and by the SCA may have a blank Vendor area. All others should have a
vendor. It might be "San Antonio ARC Chapter" or such, but there should be a
vendor.
