That Zoom meeting ... actually went well.  I didn't think anybody would show up, especially since I spent the first ten minutes waiting.  But then not one but two people popped in, and we spent the next half-hour introducing ourselves to each other.  And I don't think there were any too uncomfortable silences, and although I had scheduled it for an hour and they verbally gave clues that, you know, they were good to go at about a quarter till till ten till 9, what we did say to each other I think was very informative, and they both seemed very nice.

Phew, I think.  I hope I made a good impression.  And I hope I can somehow keep these meetings going.
