I have no ID ready <panics>

OP posts:
IAmOnTheList · 14/05/2024 10:27

Still waiting too

Pyjamagame · 14/05/2024 10:26

I've got photo ID at the ready as well. Still waiting. . .

IdisagreeMrHochhauser · 14/05/2024 10:26

Yes true. There could be legal things going on to start with.

IdisagreeMrHochhauser · 14/05/2024 10:26

I have my driving licence with me in case I needed ID. Just getting admitted to the meeting at this point would be a relief.

MyLadyDisdainlsYetLiving · 14/05/2024 10:25

I'm still waiting too, but not panicking yet remembering the multiple delays in previous hearings. Especially on the first day!

GCITC · 14/05/2024 10:25

Still waiting here

ickky · 14/05/2024 10:18

Mine says "when the meeting starts we'll let people know you are waiting". Is that what you all have?

Yep.

ickky · 14/05/2024 10:25

It is a little unsettling to not hear WFTCHTJ, not even a bit of elevator music.

Me too

SidewaysOtter · 14/05/2024 10:24

I'm concerned I'm in the wrong meeting Hmm

chilling19 · 14/05/2024 10:24

Nor me

IdisagreeMrHochhauser · 14/05/2024 10:24

Is everyone else still waiting? I suddenly panicked I was in the wrong lobby. Left. Realised I wasn't and rejoined.

JollyJanuary · 14/05/2024 10:24

I'm still not in

SidewaysOtter · 14/05/2024 10:23

IdisagreeMrHochhauser · 14/05/2024 10:20

Did they ask you to ID yourself?

No. But teams does show my initials so they must know who it is. I don't know if meeting IDs are person-specific too?

ickky · 14/05/2024 10:22

@Manxexile No, they are being very strict with this tribunal, it needed an order from the Judge to allow us to observe. Deadline to request was last Friday by 4pm.

Yes, it's a standard Teams lobby. Anyone want to start chanting Waiting For The Conference Host To Join?

A wren has just dashed past my window. I take that as a good omen.

I didn't like it when he went off script last time and added 'If YOU are the host...' That gave me a start and I logged back off in a fright.

Pyjamagame · 14/05/2024 10:22

Still waiting

Manxexile · 14/05/2024 10:21

Sorry for being thick but can someone direct me to the email address to ask to join as an observer

Thanks

IdisagreeMrHochhauser · 14/05/2024 10:20

SidewaysOtter · 14/05/2024 10:19

I'm in the meeting now. You can't have your mic on even if you want to, but I've also taped a post-it note over my camera just in case.

Did they ask you to ID yourself?

GCITC · 14/05/2024 10:20

LipbalmOrKnickers · 14/05/2024 10:19

Same @ickky I've gone in with everything on just in case. Feel very antsy.
