Well, to paraphrase Chekov, if you introduce a dog in the first act it needs to go off by the third.
Heh. Good one.
You'd never make it. I'd rip your spine out before you got half a step. Those little legs wouldn't be much good without one of those.

9am isn't too early to schedule a meeting for, like, normal people, right? I'm not being a jerk? It's just, time zones, man, and that's the only schedule hole.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
9am isn't too early to schedule a meeting for, like, normal people, right?
I have probably 2 8ams per week. It's not *great*, but it's my job. I'm not expected to be deliriously happy about it.

I'm rarely in the office by 9am these days, but I'd certainly be here for a 9am meeting if I had to be, and I wouldn't be surprised or unhappy about it.

No. I mean, if you know that they all usually roll in at 10AM, then maybe, but outside other information, no.
I think 8AM is pushing it unless they're able to call in from home or something (I say this because I can, but when I had to be in the office for 8AM telecons with the east coast, it seriously irked)

I did some checking and scheduled it for 10am his time, as that's when I think he usually comes in. I'll just have to eat a late lunch.
That was so nice of me. I suddenly feel the urge to ruin someone's day. I mean, someone whose day deserves to be ruined, of course.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
Also, we have now taken to hiding our laptops whenever we leave the house. I'd like to think we're not a particularly attractive target, since we don't have a lot of major electronics or fancy-looking items, and our schedules are somewhat erratic. But I still worry, of course, mostly about what might happen to the (decidedly indoor-only) cats if someone broke in.
Yeah, after the recent break-ins, I've started locking up the laptop when I leave. Our house is one of the smallest and crappiest, so I feel like it's not an appealing target, but I imagine thieves target whatever they can.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Apparently at Walmart, business meetings routinely start at 7am. So.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
It's Friday! I thought that would never happen.
What are people doing this weekend?
