...it's full of thorns.
I spent damn ages on Thursday coercing people into saying they'd come to minyan Sunday - you would have thought I was asking them to amputate limbs - and really, when you have class at 8.30 and free breakfast at 8, and when you probably daven anyway at home, is it so terrible to come in at 7.30 to make a minyan? Letting that aside - I had ten women signed up, and, I think, twelve men, but the list is at Pardes, and now, it's 10.40, waaaay late to call anyone, and I get three messages - two men are sick, and one woman. This is a PROBLEM since a) the list is at Pardes and I don't know who I can call and b) it's really late at night.
I can see why no-one enjoys being minyan co-ordinator. Thank goodness for Shira who is rustling up extra people from nowhere (she has considerable charm - very useful).
