Sector 5 Weather Updated Requested
Well, I suppose we should not be surprised by this request – it’s the most common report that it is. Just look out your window and tell the North Pole about the weather over your head. Pretty simple!
Fun Photo Report Needed
We just got a really neat special request from Santa. He got a real kick from the photos that were shared yesterday. He wants to see more. Since he hasn’t given us a lot to do yet he is asking that we send him a photo of whatever you’re doing fun today – making cookies, tracking Santa, playing games, shoveling snow, whatever. He wants to see more smiling facing from tracker elves.
Can we do this for him?
Last Roof Report Needed in Sector 5
Flight Command would like us all to take one more look at roofs in our area. You do this from the ground, guys. Click the image below to go to the report:
We Need a Ground Report, Sector 5
North Pole Flight Command has asked for a ground report from as many areas of Sector 5 that we can get. There is no hurry for this, we have all day.
Santa Has Launched from the North Pole
Santa has launched from the North Pole and is on his way to Sector 1. We should see even faster news updates coming from this point forward.
Sector 5 Hits the Red Zone – Finally!
Friends and Elves – Sector 5 is now finally in the Red Zone.
What does that mean?
Well, nothing for the moment. It’s the middle of the night for some of you and we want you to get your sleep. Santa doesn’t actually take off for a few more hours and he’s got a whole world to get through before he gets to us.
So, for now, please get some rest. I do expect some requests coming from Flight Command during the night but you can wait until morning to work on them.
Based on what is happening in other sectors, it appears the busiest times for trackers are between about 10am and 4pm local time.
We’ll see.
Happy slumber!
Slow Down, Sector 5
Relax, Sector 5. I’m seeing a lot of unnecessary reports from you. We’re not even in the Red Zone.
Let’s chill. Our turn will come.
By sending in unnecessary reports right now you take up the time of elves in Flight Command who are concentrating on sectors where they ARE in the Red Zone. We still hours and hours away from Santa’s launch.
Get some eggnog, take a nap, feed the cat. Whatevs. Just chill and wait for word from me, okay?
Sector 5 Trackers Advised to Sleep
I know there are some of you Sector 5 trackers out there that are awake – I’m seeing weird reports, lots of check-ins still, and some messages. I can see some of you waited up to hear the start of the Tracking Santa Radio Show.
That’s fine, but we’ve got a long road a head of us for the next 48 hours and you guys need rest. Don’t spoil your Christmas Eve by being up too much on December 23rd!
Get some sleep, Trackers!
Sector 5 Elves Can Now Check-in
Elves of Sector 5 – awaken and arise! Our time has come! The world, Santa, North Pole Flight Command and I are all ready for you to check-in:
Tracking Santa season is upon us! Let’s go!
Let’s See Your Best Elf
Let’s see your best elf!
Attention all Elves: at the request of Santa himself, please take a selfie (if your parents are ok with it) in front of your tree, in your elf uniform (if you have one) or in your home tracking center and upload it as a photo submission report. Santa wants to see your smiling elf faces!
Again, this is for all elves in all sectors. Please send ASAP!!!
We will gather them and share them in a post sometime tomorrow on December 23rd both here and at SantaUpdate.com.
If you have issues using the report uploader for your email you can email it to st@elf.fyi.
Thanks!
Elf Check-In Begins in 24 Hours
Fellow Elves! We will begin the worldwide check-in process for working elves in 24 hours. We start with Sector 1 and move to Sector 5.
Please keep an eye on your Sector’s page. It should also post to the Elf Wall by Sector, just as any Elf Supervisor direction normally does.
Things are starting to pick up. It’s a good idea to be paying attention and checking the Sector page a few times each day, at least.
The check in process is NOT required. It’s just nice to do because it tells Flight Command you are on the job.
We are dealing with massive numbers of new elves. There are some problems because basic instructions are not being followed. Invalid email addresses are being used for tracker registration. Many new elves are not looking at the training material. Some just won’t commit.
We expected this, especially given the numbers we’re dealing with each day.
That is why the check in process is so important. It tells us you’re there, working, paying attention and following direction.
In a sector that has millions – like Sector 5 – only a certain percentage of those elves are going to do things that we need. We know this, we expect it. By checking in, we are better able to trust the information that is being submitted.
We have talked to the Elf Supervisors and North Pole Flight Command to ensure that only the most necessary information is asked for. We don’t want to over burden our hard working tracker elves with too many things to do.
Santa as well has directed that we keep things concise, specific and timely.
We will work to do so.
Have fun this week!
Updated Weather Report Requested
Trackers of Sector 5 – Flight Command has asked we provide them with an updated weather report. They are specifically targeting the United States and Canada west of the Rockies as an area of need for information.
This is just routine and you may be asked again for this report several times both before and after Santa’s launch.
Thanks, Elves!
