It didn’t help that we were going
away on vacation to a far off land. In fact, we were supposed to take off
around 4:00PM on Saturday, when the phone rang around noon. It was the
scheduler for Rutland, and he said he was ready to schedule some games. My
first thought was, “No way, man, I’m leaving in a couple of hours!” Then I
realized that I had a little time, and this was a program that we wanted to get
some games against.
but that didn’t seem to be such a
huge deal. I was able to continue scheduling while I was in Italy and Croatia,
if you can believe that. The beauty of the internet, I don’t think the people I
was communicating with had any idea about my situation, which is kind of cool.
It didn’t take a huge amount of time on any given day, just about half an hour
in the morning and I was done, but I did have to communicate fairly regularly.
In the end, I got a lot done while I was over there, so the schedule was fairly
complete by the time the big meeting came around, for which I could not attend
because I was away. I couldn’t pull that one off on the computer.
I’ve been told that as the season
progresses, the schedule will have to modified and things will not work out and
will need to be amended, which can be a pain because that means changing things
on the fly, but such is the life of a hockey scheduler. I’m not sure why DF
thought I was the man for the job, but I’d prefer not to let the guy down.
Until the next time, thanks for
reading, and thanks to rossMania for the pic.
