<DIV>To All</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>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.<BR></DIV>
<DIV>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.</DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=023051923-26112005><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff>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...</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

what's news on a Chirurgeon camping area? With David along, I'll have

fits.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: 'Verdana'">
<DIV>
<DIV> 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.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>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.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>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.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>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.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>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. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>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.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>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.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>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.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>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. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>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.</DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=546292816-26112005><FONT face=Arial size=2>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.

<DIV><SPAN class=546292816-26112005><FONT face=Arial size=2>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. </FONT></SPAN></DIV>

remember to put in "Software Innovation" into the Vendor area when it is
