A mess, and lacking order

[monozukineko.livejournal.com]

I want some kind of order to my head.

I mean, now that I've been essentially told off by one of my headmates, and noticing that the more tired I am, the more they seem to babble and chatter amongst themselves and make me that much more tired... the more I'd really like a way to structure who gets to say what when. Like, organize 'shifts.'

There's been some debate as to how it would actually work, but I'm more concerned with: is it possible at all, or is it by its very nature doomed to the problems of spontaneity? Is it fair to restrict them to some kind of schedule-- is it fair to *me?*

Any thoughts?

Heh. We tried that for a little while, mostly while we were performing at the local renaissance festival, but it didn't work too well. Jem (the one who's out the most) got all control-freak on us and kept forcing everyone else back. She sometimes gets overwhelmed by us being out too much, though.

It would (theoretically) have worked pretty damn well, I think. In our agreement for doing it that we set up, it was basically understood that you could opt out of your shift if someone else was willing to cover it, and if someone else needed to come out and handle a situation that you couldn't, they would be allowed to.

It just sucked that Jem had to resort to threats to keep us back. That whole time really sucked ass.
