Multitasking during ISTE Duty

I still have ISTE docent duty every Saturday morning from 8 to 9 eastern time. The inserted image shows the head quarters building I'm in front of. This is where educational folks often come for help or fellowship.
Today, like so many days, there is no one here but me. In real life I'm reading a book so I posed my avatar doing the same in case someone comes by and I don't notice right away. I put a titler over my head, invisible in this photo, giving the name of the book to encourage discussion.
The green ball is part of my accounting solution. I'm expected to report at the end of my shift how many avatars visited and how many I invited to ISTE. I create balls to keep track. Green for ISTE members, red for non-ISTE members, blue if I invited them. There is no accounting for whether or not they accepted the invitation. I'm not sure you can even tell if they have hidden their groups.
I'd prefer to have a lot of business, people to connect with, newbie educators to help, but today only two came. Oh well. It's a peaceful way to spend an hour on Saturday mornings.
