Round 15 is next weekend!

[lolmac]

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?

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

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)

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 fic_rush!

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

[lolmac]

Yes, that has already been discussed.

[persiflage-1.livejournal.com]

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

[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

[persiflage-1.livejournal.com]

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

[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!

[persiflage-1.livejournal.com]

Yeah, true.

[dbskyler.livejournal.com]

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!

[pitry.livejournal.com]

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. ;)

[dbskyler.livejournal.com]

Hmm, interesting. When you had school on Friday, did you get Sunday off, or only Saturday?

[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...
