[PRL] Seating chart

[Matthias Felleisen]

As Mitch pointed out, we received the chart on Monday with the request 
to return it by Friday. I forwarded it to the lab with the request that 
you guys discuss the chart and possible arrangements. That's all that 
happened from my perspective and nothing else has happened officially. 
If anyone wants to whine, do so *after* something real happens.

That said, I think it is great that someone took the initiative to post 
it somewhere (though next to my office is definitely *not* a good spot) 
and to get people to discuss it.

And finally, yes, I promised to spend the end of HOPL to talk about 
seating in the new building. So if you want a seat, be there or be 
square at 11:30 in Egan.
