Oh. Now that I'm back at school with better internet access, I can throw my name in the reserve pool. I wouldn't want to commit fully in case something comes up or I become too busy, but I'll at least make myself available for back up if it should be needed and I can spare it.

Anyway, the months I'll be available for, then, would be the rest of January until the start of May, and then from September until the start of December.

Good luck with school, WQ.

Once a review is submitted to the site, it's on the site. You have no obligation to hold back from reading it.

That's a good rule to enforce. Otherwise, the ROTW judge essentially has to cram reading and judging 5-10 reviews within a short time span. It's rough on me, and I'm sure others, since I have to work weekdays and thus must make the most of my weekend spare time. Not having to hold off on Friday night and Saturday is good news.

I CAN HAS CHEEZBURGER?

Any word from Aschultz? I know he was all geared up for his first ROTW. Hopefully he didn't have a heart attack from the excitment.

I needed to sleep on the ordering. It'll be up today. Hopefully at lunch.

Toss me in as a reserve judge. Lord knows I have the spare time.

Oh shit! This is my week.

Uh, if any substitutes could step up and do this one for me, I'd like be all grateful. I'm swamped at work today and at least part of tomorrow and also have a couple reviews I'm working on. I could get it out Wednesday or so if no one can get it done before then, so it's no emergency, but since we do have a few people interested in subbing, I figured I'd make the offer.

I suggest Will, who just posted that he has a bunch of free time.

I agree with Zipp's sentiment.

I concur with your agreement.

This is going to be fun.

That was fun. If anyone else needs a last-minute sub for their week, I'd love to do this again.

Good job, Will. Thanks for doing that.

Nice to have you aboard, Will--would be glad to see you again.

By the way, what is the word on RotW judges judging in a contest? Is there anything to watch out for? That seems like a great time to bring in a guest judge...

I don't think it's usually considered a problem.

Overdrive... are you being fashionably late again? Jerec or WQ, do you have time to do a stand-in ROTW for Overdrive, otherwise?

Um... isn't this Schultz's week?

You exist because we allow it. And you will end because we demand it.

Shultz indeed has seemed to have vanished in any case. I haven't seen him in a little while.

Anyway, I really don't have time I'm afraid. Maybe I can do it if I finish this history paper before Friday, but there's no chance of me doing anything next week at all. Not with two other papers and five midterms (well, four - one's Thursday) coming up.

Yes. I should have it up Tuesday evening. Sorry for the delay. I got involved in a work project.

You know you're the ICON of RotW when ANY TIME one comes in late, it's assumed that you're the one to blame!

Kudos to me!

Jeez, my bad! I keep thinking finals are next week. It's wigging me out (looks to WQ for moral support).

I'm sure you're better prepared than I am! >_

We need to get someone else on the ROTW for next week. Rand is temporarily indisposed.

So Rand, are you doing this week? Are you back in action? Or does someone (Jerec or WQ) need to pick this up?

I read your previous installment and was under the impression we were going to have Will do another.

Either way, I think it would be wise for someone else to go ahead and take this one.

I CAN HAS CHEEZBURGER?

I put that out there hoping someone would confirm or deny it, but thus far I think a total of maybe 1 person has responded to my ROTW. So I don't know what's going on. At this point I'm assuming it's going to any one of our back up judges. It needs to get done, either way, and soon.
