Shift change info + COURT DILEMMA.

Just a quick note about the shift change, since that's happening tonight: New patients still don't have rooms, so I'd suggest just having their room (in the subject line) be "M??" or "F??" and you could just have them... mulling things over on their own while they eat, or whatever your character would do in that situation. (Or you could just skip it since it's only a two-day shift and... yeah.)

Second off, I have something of a dilemma that I wanted to ask you guys about. 8D The cycle that the applications are on right now goes December -> March -> June -> September, right? (Three months in between each.) Well, I've realized that that's not very conducive to the reading going quickly, since I have finals in December, March, and June. YEAH, HAHA, oops. So I'm really thinking it needs to be changed to January -> April -> July -> October, but... I'm not sure how to go about making the shift. I mean, I guess we should just push back the next open app cycle to the beginning of April, but I don't know if you guys are up for that?

I mean, we could leave it how it is, but I just get the feeling that things will be going much slower in that case. :| December didn't work really well because of the holidays and stuff, too. So yeah, I just needed some thoughts/help on how to handle this. T_T;;

I FEEL BAD ABOUT BEING RELIEVED ABOUT THE SHIFT CHANGE BECAUSE KADAJ IS ALL LIKE "OMG MOMMY ;-;" BUT OH GOD I CAN'T THINK OF WHAT TO WRITE ANYMORE HALP

... And I has no suggestions for apps, for which I am sorry. ._.;; It just. Yes. I think shifting the dates they're open to times of the year that aren't hot spots for school/holiday/other RL stuff is a good idea, though. o/ Apps during finals/holidays = bad. So erm. Yeah. D:

Yeah, that's true. And.. yeah. THINGS. Thank you very, very much for playing KAASAN, by the way. |D ♥

Yaaaaaay. Less stress = good. :D

I'm all up for having it changed. December's bad for anyone as is November because of the NaNoWriMo, so October fits better with that part of the year. January may be a bad idea, but it's more logical to have that if apps are going to be responded to in a timely manner (NOT THAT YOU GUYS DIDN'T DO A GOOD JOB OVER THE HOLIDAYS!!)

And for this round, having it pushed back from March to April might be a good idea since it took a long while for apps to be responded to, and now that they are close to being completed, it's almost like there's only 2 months in between the periods. It would be easier on you guys to push it back like that if you intend to change it.

I don't think pushing the apps back to April would be that big of a deal. Especially since it makes things easier for you and gives those who are looking to write apps a little more time to research, etc. If you did end of March beginning of April, I don't think people would flip out or anything.

And yay, Jack is going to be all "WHAT IS THIS PLACE" tonight since he never got it explained to him. XD;;; And food that isn't fishbones. :[ WHAT.

Pushing back to April sounds like a good idea to me, too. Plus, with November/December, everyone's sorta running around with finals and holidays and that crazy writing thing NaNo, so October is a bit more manageable. \o/ Ditto for June vs. July.

Wait, tonight? The calendar says there's two days to go in this shift--something got changed or it didn't get updated?

While I'm pestering with questions, on the off chance we can even attempt this... Signum-mun and I are trying to scheme something where Hokuto ends up going into the shower room to find her commander already in there. XD When it's not a regular shower time, do the nurses insist on keeping people divided up by age and would make Hokuto wait until Signum was gone, or not?

I don't think anyone would flip out if you moved apps to, like, the beginning of April or something. Seems counterproductive to have apps fall during finals for you guys, or general holidays/NaNoWriMo stuff anyway, I agree. And it gives people a little extra time to write their apps and me extra time to replay Abyss I MEAN WHAT?, so, yeah, I guess you could say everyone wins if you push this cycle back? :3

Hiatus...shhhh!

If it's easier for you, I think it's a good idea to move the app cycles. I don't think anyone would make a big deal out of the next one being moved to April anyway.

Jan/Apr/July/Oct normally seem much quieter months anyway. I think it'd be fine to change it, unless multiple people have big problems with it. Which I don't see happening, but you never know. XD

WHY MUST RL EAT US? WOE!

Question unrelated to apps.

I meant to ask this earlier. Oops. Anyway! With dinner, since it's not a buffet, what happens for vegetarian patients? Do they just have to go hungry, or are they given something different?

I agree that December is bad for apps.

I agree with pushing March back into April, it works out best I think.

Sounds good to me! (The app schedual change, that is.)

I know at least one person who'll be delighted, too, if you change it right away-- since the next app period falls right on top of a three-day anime con she's going to. XD;;

You know what April apps mean?

April Fool's apps.

I've no problem with you moving the dates. Do what makes your life easier.

[identity profile] zalia.livejournal.com 2008-01-16 07:41 pm (UTC)(link)
Moving the dates sounds good to me since everyone seems so busy during the app months ^^;

And having it in April gives me a few more episodes to work with for my next app >>

Pushing the next app cycle back a bit doesn't seem like that big a deal. And if those months will work better for you guys, all the better! Those are all generally quiet months anyway.

[identity profile] haiiro-no-chou.livejournal.com 2008-01-17 06:56 am (UTC)(link)
I have no objections. :)

OH GOD, you guys are so getting a Mr. Puddles app come April.

But, yeah. I'm cool with you guys pushing it back!
