Okay, guys, with summer coming up and people getting jobs or shifting schedules around to allow for more fun at night and more sleeping in the morning, I need everybody to get me their updated preferred DR day/time requests.

I'm holding steady on Monday evenings for our team time in the DR, but everything else is up in the air.

This'll also impact our monitoring schedule for the wormhole. I need to make sure I've got everybody slotted in where they can/want to be before I release our 'desperately needed' schedule to the rest of the teams to request assistance.

Keep in mind that you'll need to bring your own snacks and things if you're on monitoring duty once construction gets going, especially if you're picking up a longer shift. Also remember to let me know when you're picking up an extra shift, if you are, cause you get paid for all this work you're doing and if you go over a certain number of hours a week, you get OT. OT = time and a half, which everybody can acknowledge is very nice.

My sleep schedule can politely be described as "erratic" so if anyone wants to trade off dead-of-night shifts, I'll take those.

As far as the Danger Room goes, yeah, team integration is good and all that but you guys get pissy when I bring longarms in and play pink mist from a goodly long ways out. Safeties or no, nobody likes being pink-misted.

So long-and-short is ... I got plenty on my plate but this is also important. So slot me in for whenever, preferably later in the day or the dead of night monitoring shifts.

Noted. Majority of third shifts are going to you.

We need to work on your hand-to-hand. Not because you lack the ability or skill, but to test out and possibly upgrade your arm/leg to better handle kinetic force. Also, you still gotta get used to it, just in case something happens somewhere down the line.

Now I know you just hate me. Or owe Rasputina the pleasure of beating me bloody.

[xp_magik]

Do not know what you mean, I am just small woman and could not possibly do this thing you accuse me of. On earth.

Also can take shifts whenever, will let you know in advance when I will be in Limbo for a few days.

[xp_hawkeye]

Sounds good re: monitoring. If you need any help prepping for your trips to Limbo, let us know.

[xp_magik]

Mostly just go, make sure S'ym is not getting too big for demon britches.

Showed Pyotr the other day, do not think he enjoyed trip.

Non-24 cares not for summer. schedule me and I'll be there. sleep optional.

[xp_hawkeye]

Bro, a sleep schedule would do wonders for you. I don't care which one, but c'mon. Or at least block out time that's specifically for you and your people. No interruptions.

I'll put you on the third shifts I don't give Forge and we can talk about potential other shifts to fit in around your work schedule.

[xp_daredevil]

I do block out time with my people. And I even sometimes sleep. but I've never been great at a sleep schedule and I'm not going to medicate one. so, it is what it is.

[xp_meggan]

I can be there for monitoring the wormhole whenever you need me during the daylight hours, since it seems night is covered!

[xp_hawkeye]

Awesome, thanks Meggan. Do you have any days you'd specifically prefer off? I wanna make sure you've got time for yourself as well as the wormhole and you've got family things going, too.

[xp_meggan]

Oh, yes, how about we go with Tuesdays and Thursdays off, then!

Down to two courses for the summer, DX volunteering takes Fridays and weekends, so can take Tue & Thur day shifts.

[xp_hawkeye]

This is perfect, thank you! If there's anything we can assist with so far as your volunteer work in DX.

We require less sleep than your human genetics need to stay at peak performance. We have also successfully bribed the purple one for more Atlantis exploration, so I will advise Kate to note weekends away on the team calendar.

I will lead any hand to hand or weapons training as needed after my normal kata.

[xp_hawkeye]

Thanks, I appreciate it. Also, your brand of hand-to-hand will be great for surprising people who're used to more modern/standardized techniques. I'm looking forward to learning a few things, myself.

Suppose we can work together to show team benefits of punching through portals?
