Noone Complains
Flipper
I've seen a lot of human activity in my _ _ years. Someone usually complains about something. (If noone else, then give me a chance.) I am amazed at your track record.
Maybe I don't understand. (Not the first time) How do you mix people in?
This is my idea of a sign in sheet.
I sign my name, song number, disc and track number. (I look that stuff up in a book)
I take my turn with 4 other people lets say because only five other people are there that want to sing. After I sing, I sign up again. During one of my performances, someone comes in, it's her divorce day and she wants to sing "I Will Survive" with her friend. (She obviously doesn't care that someone sang it a half hour ago ) They sign up. Now the "rotation" has become 6 people without the Host having to Announce anything. I have to wait longer. That's to be expected. The Host just checks off the performances on the sign-in sheet.
"Miss Survival" is done. She and her friend were horrible but who cares. She has said her peace. "Rotation back to 5 without any announcement.
More people come in. The rotation grows and subsides without a lot of shuffling around on the part of the Host. It seems fair and efficient. How is another system better?
Even in this system, I've seen plenty of complaining from people about the length of time they need to wait when the Host is simply calling the people one at a time exactly as they are signed-in. (Totally Fair and un-biased) Of course it really starts to fly if the Host is calling people up out of order.
I have gone through the "Fill out a slip" system. I was in agony all night. Did this Jackel lose my slip? Is he constantly shuffling me to the bottom because I'm not one of his regulars?? When are you up honey, I have no idea!!
Anyway, do you mix people in ahead of what would be their normal time if they just signed up using a sign up sheet?
