Dear PhD lab,
I hope you had a good start to the year.
The Spring term is starting next week, and we should try to find a time slot that works for us all.
It may be difficult this term, as I have tons of teaching this year. I am attaching my schedule so you can feel a bit sorry for me. :-)
The first two seminars on Thursday are done by Jayne, another lab member.
So: realistically speaking, there are only two or three time slots I can realistically do:
* Wednesday
* Tuesday after 2pm
* Friday after 3pm
Can we make this work?
Best,
Till

Dear PhD lab,
I think yesterday was a lot of fun, and I hope all of you got home in time before we got enveloped in a white blanket of snow.
Just a few quick things:
(1) Liz: Would you mind sharing yesterday’s pictures (I think we used your phone for these, right?)
(2) More Christmas gatherings: The Economics Division is holding its own Christmas lunch this coming Wednesday in Stirling at Hermann’s Restaurant<https://www.hermanns.co.uk/> at 1PM. PhD students are explicitly invited, and I hope to see many of you there. If you haven’t received an invite (by e-mail/calendar, I suppose), please let me know.
(3) Next week’s PhD lab: Let’s use next week’s PhD lab (this year’s last) as a general take-stock/look-ahead session so we can discuss what each of you could/should do during the winter break to stay on track. So no individual presentation next Thursday.
Best wishes and enjoy your week-end.
Till

Dear PhD lab,
OK, let’s try this again.
We have now moved today’s PhD lab to tomorrow, Friday 1st of December, 14:00 in room 2B84 (Cottrell).
Bed-ridden people excluded – please make an effort to join in person, so we can maximise the feedback for Liz and Johanne. If that is not possible for you, I will be sending out a Teams invite for remote access.
Looking forward to our Christmas get together at Meadowpark afterwards.
Best,
Till

Hi all,
Given how hard Liz worked on her presentation for today, it would be a shame if only two people got to hear it and provide feedback.
Since we are going to be in Stirling on Friday anyway, how about we postpone until tomorrow?
@Simon: Any time tomorrow that would work for you?
Best,
Till

Hi all,
I hope this message finds you well. I wanted to let you know that unfortunately, I won't be able to attend today's behavioral lab session. I'm fully immersed in finalizing my SGSSS application, and the deadline is tomorrow.
@Elizabeth Barnes<mailto:elizabeth.barnes@stir.ac.uk> I sincerely apologize for missing your presentation and appreciate your understanding.
Best regards,
Kevin

Hi folks,
I've been bed bound for the past few days with a cough. I was banking on feeling better today but it seems I'm not over the worst of it yet.
I'm really gutted but I doubt I'm going to be able to make it in tomorrow for our get together as I'm just feeling so poorly.
Sorry to miss your presentation today @Elizabeth Barnes<mailto:elizabeth.barnes@stir.ac.uk>.

Dear PhD lab,
As you can see below, it took only 18 days to reserve a table at Meadowpark. And who said only Universities suffer from bureaucratic sclerosis?
Anyway: We can now officially save the day: 1st of December at 16:45 (as 17:00 was already booked out - no joke)
The good news is that we no longer need to pay a deposit.
See you then!
Best,
Till

Hi there, apologies I’ve been off on annual leave, I see you managed to get booked in for 7 people at 4.45pm on December 1st. We only require a deposit for groups 8+ so won’t require one. We look forward to welcoming you to The Meadowpark!

Hello again,
I wanted to check if my e-mail below was received.
Can our reservation for 7 people on the 1st of December at 5PM go ahead? I would also like to give you my credit card details as a guarantee so you won’t have to charge a deposit.
Best,
Till

Hi Angelique,
Now, I have to apologise for the slow response on my end. I had to check back with the other people in the group.
Our party slightly shrank from 8 to 7, but we would still like to make a reservation for the 1st at 5PMish.
We are not looking to order from the set menu. We are meeting to have some drinks, and some of us will probably order some food (from the regular menu). But this isn’t a dinner-type reservation per se.
I have a question about the deposit. Will you still require a £10 deposit even if we do not order the set menu? This would create some organisational hassle I would like to avoid (I would have to collect £10 from my colleagues).
I fully understand that you would like some type of guarantee, though. Would it be possible for you to just charge my credit card with £70 in case of a no-show situation (which won’t happen…)? I am happy to provide you with my credit card information.
Best,
Till

Hi there, apologies I’m not sure how we missed your original email! We’d be delighted to accommodate your group. Are you looking to order from our festive set menu, or our regular menu? We’ll require a pre-order if you’re looking to order from the Set Menu. There is also a £10 per person deposit required for this reservation. Would this work for you? Please let me know! Thank you. Thank you for your patience regarding our response.

I have also tried a few times to make a reservation via the phone, but I do not manage to get through.
Thank you,
