As one of the workers, I cannot emphasise enough how much I preferred the system this year to last year's, and I certainly got the impression that that was a widely-shared opinion among the bishies. I also got the impression from the attendees that they were enjoying it a lot more - better food selection, a wider range of company, less pressure to eat in time and so forth.
The only gripe I personally had was having it the day after the auction - many of us were up 'til 5am the day before, so having such an early start (realistically needing to be up at 9am if we wanted to take the first shift, which ended up being impossible for me ^^'
really sucked. For me personally, having this year's system in last year's time slot would be superb - but that said, I'll be happy to work Sunday morning again next year if that's where it ends up, because I
really did enjoy myself!
