Every Monday and Tuesday I am "on call" to conduct a 10am and 2pm tour of our Holy Land. It's hard to know until the last minute whether there will be a tour, so it means I can't commit to help others with projects they have on the property. We may have people sign up for tours on the Internet for a specific day and time, and then fail to show up, or we may have people just show up and ask if they can take a tour, so it is always necessary to be ready for any situation and adjust accordingly.
To add to the uncertainty is the fact that there are two others who do the HL tours the rest of the week. Ray does the tours on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday, while Mike does the tours on Saturday. There are times when they aren't available and I may be asked, usually at the last minute, to take their place and do the tour. Since we are rarely away from the property on those days anyway, there is an occasional "can you help" call: On call for a call. The main thing is to accommodate our visitors and do what needs to be done. Most projects are not on a fixed schedule, so flexibility is a common attribute to nurture. "Doing it tomorrow" is a common occurrence, except for the tours for people only here for that specific time.
No tours for me today and the project I said I would help with if I didn't have an afternoon tour has been put off until tomorrow, when I will again be on call. Oh well............that's life in the Passion Play off season. Enjoy the slower pace while you can............Hal.
