when things were pretty crazy I blocked in from a gs. got home showered and in bed....within 3 hours scheduling was waking me out of a dead sleep to ask me how soon I could sign in for a trip.
don't think its they aren't aware...its just when you are out of warm bodies to fill the seats.....everything else kinda becomes second priority.
schedulers have a tough job. they operate in a system that at times is a much a hindrance as help. My personal approach has always been to not make their job any more difficult than it already is, and if I am on the gs list...to make every effort to in fact be available.
