Check everyone's schedules, re-check the people who didn't get back to you, repeat the re-check (interspersed with going back to the people who DID respond with questions like 'John can't do Tuesdays, could you do Tuesday, and then Mary will fill in for you and John will fill in for Mary?') and finally, several days past the deadline, get it out and wait for the complaints.<br /><br />OR<br /><br />2. Draw up a schedule (I think that's what 'rota' translates to) and send it around. If anyone doesn't show up or has to take the cat to the animal pyschiatrist or whatever and can't show up, leave it to the people on the ground to improvise a replacement.<br /><br />Cherylhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17343576593315811633noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4795284845836270713.post-92057469714233782392012-08-17T08:06:30.353+01:002012-08-17T08:06:30.353+01:00I love Rota's particularly when I don't co...I love Rota's particularly when I don't collate them, but complain about them.<br /><br />I'm on a number of Rota's across five churches. Those who make the rota's and who can't be bothered to liaise with me in advance or with each other. So I often find myself being nominated for reading in one church, intercessions in another and as sidesman or welcome team.<br /><br />Being as flexible as I can, I can't possibly meet all of the conflicting demands placed on my presence, but, Oh, Joy, what an opportunity it gives for moaning at them, of demanding changes or alternatives and telling them that I am not going to exchange or liaise with anyone else.<br /><br />It's the height of inefficiency for those completing rota's to not check availabilities before nominating individuals for such duties.<br />UKViewerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18114944341930758335noreply@blogger.com
