Set a personal record today for number of simultaneous director's calls needing to be handled (not a good thing, just a demonstration of elementary queueing theory): extra tile spilled on floor while drawing, then inappropriately returned to bag; blank not designated in writing, opponent bingoed using it assuming it was a convenient, not originally intended, but plausible letter; routine tile overdraw; request for adjustment of air conditioning settings; request for additional result slip. 5 calls took 9 of my 60 minutes of this round.
