Great idea.  In fact, some more infrastructure overall would have been good:

- Along with the printed-out staff sheet, a list of the shift descriptions
and the radio allocations and channel assignments.

- On the printed slips:
        - name
        - shift
        - start time, end time
        - shift description
        - get there early reminder
        - radio information
(everything was there this time but the radio info)

Mike, Ivan, it would be ultra cool if the staff sheet script could be
extended to generate conveniently-printed lists of all this for each staff
member.  Obviously the staff sheet template would need to be extended with
start time / end time / general notes for each shift, in some format that
the staff sheet could then turn into a printed list.  (The general notes
for each shift could be just plain text, including the staff description,
reminder, radio info, etc.).  As it was, I had to rush home at 8 pm the
night of the party and spend a solid hour typing/cutting/pasting as fast as
I could (literally) until 9 pm... just barely made it to orientation.  If
the script had been able to do it for me, it would have been astoundingly
easier.  Nothing like feature creep, eh?  :-)

Cheers,
Rob
