Hey everyone - our office is

Hey everyone - our office is being used to film a TV commercial this afternoon. Supposedly the production crew / gear / trucks will be gone by 6pm but that seems really unlikely.

We're definitely meeting tonight - but maybe not in our usual conference room. I'll put up a sign on the front door with any room changes.

See you all tonight!
