Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
9am isn't too early to schedule a meeting for, like, normal people, right?
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.
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.
Apparently at Walmart, business meetings routinely start at 7am. So.
I've got a theory...
It's Friday! I thought that would never happen.
What are people doing this weekend?
9am isn't too early to schedule a meeting for, like, normal people, right?
Well *I'd* grumble, but only in my head. And I'd show up for the meeting. But I've been spoiled by working for MSFT, because core hours there are understood to start at 10am.
I worked with engineers. They thought 7:30am was reasonable, if not late (ouch).
My old boss wanted us in by 7:50 or so, so we could be oriented and have read overnight emails before Monday through Friday 8am meetings. My current boss doesn't drive in before 9. Neither does my manager. We have 1 8am meeting on the regular books, and that's because it's a con call with India.
I'm skating, working, going to a movie, SAME AS ALWAYS BECAUSE THAT'S HOW I LIKE IT, BITCHES.
