Today's meeting went well for the most part, even though it began 30 minutes late. Jorgen wasn't there at the beginning, so I used his time slot to give my report. Jorgen finally arrived at 9:30 and gave his report. The board members were surprised to hear that job applicants complain about our salary offers. Jerry's report really shocked and upset the board. Fortunately, Madeira's report had the opposite effect. Everyone was happy to hear about our great profits. The technology upgrades report didn't go so well. Jerry had to leave the meeting before his report because there was an Internet problem in the Electrical Engineering department. Because of this, the presenter for our third agenda item read Jerry's report, and it was a bit confusing. She didn't really know what she was talking about and couldn't answer questions satisfactorily. We decided to ask Jerry to provide written answers to questions raised by board members during the meeting. Because we started late, we finished a half hour late, but we still had to hurry to finish within the allotted time. We decided to make the next board meeting a half-hour longer to give more time for discussion and questions. What time did the meeting start?
