For once, the title does not say it all; we have some scheduling bumps that still need to be flattened.  Three of our mods have RL issues, and presumably all of our mods have Real Lives, so whatcha gonna do?

I've been contacting some folks directly, but with LJ continuing to deliver some messages days later, it's not going well.  Accordingly, can the following folks get in touch with me on modding schedule tweaks?

[livejournal.com profile] glinda_penguin, can you start an hour earlier than usual, at 8 am GMT Saturday, and go for five hours instead of four?
first post 8 am GMT Saturday
last post noon GMT Saturday

[livejournal.com profile] pitry, can you 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)

[livejournal.com profile] juliet316, can you change your shift to the following?
first post 1 pm GMT Sunday (10 am EDT)
last post 6 pm GMT Sunday (2 pm EDT)

Please reply in the comments here.  If any of you have already replied to PMs from me asking about this, and you're wondering why I'm asking again -- you can assume that your reply has not reached me yet.  Sigh.

ETA:  Once I have answers from everyone, I'll post a new schedule for the round.  I'll need everyone to check it for errors; there's a lot of changes involved.

ETA:  We have a confirmed hole in the schedule.  Can anyone cover any part of the time between 4 am and 8 am GMT on Sunday?
ETA42: We have a confirmed hole in my head, but the schedule is now solid.  Yay [livejournal.com profile] fic_rush!

Sorry, I'm working Sundays. :( I can cover Sundays after 7 when I'm usually back (that's 4 GMT if I'm not too mistaken about the DST changes) but not earlier than that.

I would be happy to do it in addition to my Saturday shift! No problems in that regards.

Hmm...since midnight GMT is now 3 a.m. it would be unwise to say I can go til the end, but I'm usually going to sleep as it is around 2 a.m. so until then I'm game!

We're changing the clocks in the UK that weekend, by the way!

Well I was just mentioning it because pitry mentioned the DST changes...

From: [identity profile] pitry.livejournal.com
Yeah, we're changing them between Thursday and Friday that same weekend... don't ask me why Thu/Fri. The mysteries of Israeli DST are just that - a mystery. :D

Thursday/Friday? What a horrible time of the week!

Date: 2011-03-19 08:51 pm (UTC)
From: [identity profile] pitry.livejournal.com
Well, it could have been worse - I'm not working Fridays, so I can make up that hour. It'd be much worse if it were in the middle of the week!

I know why! I know why!

But only because this thread caused me to go look up information on the typical Israeli workweek. That, plus my own knowledge of Shabbat, gave me the answer. :D

LJ is so educational sometimes!

Actually, it's a newish thing. I'm pretty sure they used to change it between Saturday and Sunday!

.... Or maybe the days I was in school and there was school on Friday are haunting me. I dunno. ;)

From: [identity profile] dbskyler.livejournal.com
Hmm, interesting. When you had school on Friday, did you get Sunday off, or only Saturday?

Date: 2011-03-20 02:34 pm (UTC)
From: [identity profile] pitry.livejournal.com
Only Saturday!

... it's disgusting. It's still that way in most schools though, and plenty of work places are open 6 (well, 5.5, everything closes up by Shabbat) days a week...

Yes, I'm good for my shift...*sets alarm clock pre-emptively*

I can do 4-6. I'd rather not do the whole four hours because that's really late here, but I can if nobody else is able to. (Though if nobody else is able to, I bet things will be pretty dead for those hours anyway.)

I should be able to cover 7am and 8am GMT on sunday. I may not be at my sparkling best but I can be there.

I can do 4am to 8am Sunday, it's my Saturday shift I an't do : D

Brilliant - I can do your Saturday if need be!

So in that case... when is my shift? *has become confused*

Date: 2011-03-20 12:15 am (UTC)
From: [identity profile] pitry.livejournal.com
No problem on both shifts! So I'll do Saturday afternoon and Sunday night (yeah, these are the hours, I was at last year's dates, we're not moving til first of April this year! I tell you, this government is *trying* to make every aspect of life difficult...:P)

Had it been this weekend I wouldn't have been able too but next weekend I'm just working on the Saturday all day so I won't be here for then. I was wondering why you were giving my Sunday shift away.

Yes I have, I'm so sorry I confused you : D

I am unclear on what the solid schedule is... Did you post it and I blanked on it? I am still available when I said I would be, just want to see what I'm up for.

Thank you for coordinating!
