Round 15 dates

[lolmac]

Round 15 will be on March 26th and 27th.  Hope to see everyone there!  Bring a friend!  Bring a penguin!  Bring a complete stranger with a brand new trope!

Mods, please check the Master Schedule and let me know, in the comments to this post, if you can make it or not.

General note to all members:  we have backup coverage in every time slot, except for Don's shifts; she is at present the only mod on the Australian side of things, and the only mod (other than myself) who has a double shift every round.  If anyone might be able to consistently cover 6 am to 9 am GMT on Saturday, or 4 am to 8 am GMT on Sunday, please let me know.  isdon_isgood9, I'm not asking this because there's anything wrong with your modding; quite the contrary.  I don't want you to burn out or feel that you can't have a life.

Here's a converter for the time zones.  The US and Canada are now on Daylight Savings Time, and Australia still is.

I was only wondering last night when the next round would be!

[chibifukurou]

Hooray! I am excited.

[lullabymoon]

Awesome. I'll be up for my sunday morning shift.

[lolmac]

We have three mods with conflicts. Can you go for an hour later than usual on Sunday? It pushes you to 1 pm GMT, which might not work at all since you'll be on daylight snafuings savings by then.

[lullabymoon]

Yeah, that'll be okay. *writes note to self*

so far so good.
If there's a change for me I'll give you a shout.

[lolmac]

Ack -- we have three mods whose weekends are problematic. Is there any possibility that you could do the following shift instead of your usual?

first post 5 am GMT Sunday (8 am IST)
last post 8 am GMT Sunday (11 AM IST)

Please be honest (but still civil)!

I don't want to throw a spanner in the works or anything, but does it make a difference to your mod schedule that the UK will change to British Summer Time (GMT +1 hr) at 1am on Sunday 27th?

So far my schedule for that weekend is empty, I think, so I might be able to pop in. :D

[lolmac]

Oh, good point! How jolly. We'll all be in the same boat together.

I'm not able Saturday shift this round cause it's an election weekend here and I'll be busy, ensuring the good people of Lismore vote : D Basically I'm working 7.15 am EDT to 11.30pm EDT which sucks :( So I really need someone who can back me up this round.

Plus I don't take it as an insult, it makes sense to back up people : D

[lolmac]

As long as you don't back up over people . . .

Sorry about the work schedule!

First, the good news: I can take Don's Saturday shift this round (6 a.m. to 8 a.m. GMT Saturday). Those are late-night Friday night hours for me, so I'm not the best person to take that shift on a regular basis, but I can be a back-up, and I'm available to take the shift for this round.

Now, the bad news: I'm only available for part of my regular shift (11 p.m. GMT Saturday to 3 a.m. GMT Sunday). I will be around for the 11-12 and 12-1 GMT posts, but after that I'll have to leave. Can someone else take those last 3 posts (1, 2 and 3 a.m. GMT), or switch shifts with me entirely so I mod earlier on Saturday?

[lolmac]

I'm leaving the same reply to both you and Idlewild: I will juggle the schedule a bit and see what we end up needing. Thanks for being able to be flexible!

[lolmac]

Post juggling:

Can you do the following shifts instead of your usual?

first post 10 PM PDT Friday
last post midnight

first post noon PDT Sat
last post 3 pm Sat PDT

[dbskyler.livejournal.com]

Yep, I can do both of those, no problem! Thanks for the juggling!

(By the way, just to doublecheck, you did mean Pacific time, right? Because the Master Schedule currently has my shift in Eastern time even though it's labeled Pacific, just FYI. Your subconscious must be really happy on the East Coast! *g*)

[lolmac]

It's more that I'm really not happy about Daylight Snafuing Time, and I kept messing up the Master Schedule until I was cross-eyed. Hey, maybe it's all the Master's fault.

But yes, the times I just gave you are PDT, FWIW. YMMV. I'm going to bed PDQ.

And thank you!!

I will be out of town (so far as I know at the time of this writing) during my shift. Hellfire. I mean I could cover it, from my cellphone, if there was no alternative. I know I voted yes for that weekend too, but life came up!

I could back up a Saturday morning to early afternoon EST shift if needed.

[lolmac]

I'm leaving the same reply to both you and Skyler: I will juggle the schedule a bit and see what we end up needing. Thanks for being able to be flexible! Life does happen.

Yes, I can do that. I put it in my calendar.
