I definitely try to get an assistant to handle scheduling at work! Unfortunately, this is a non-work meeting. Come to find out, there is no day of the week except Friday that would work for everyone. Unless I skip my yoga class, which I just offered to do. Ugh! They asked about "mornings," and I was like, hard no. I'm barely functional when I get to the office at 8:30, I'm not having a meeting before that!

Yeah, if someone at work schedules a meeting before normal working hours, my body might show up but I guarantee my participation in the meeting will not be productive.

That is the thing I find most unrealistic about The LWord. All these people having breakfast with their friends before work??? Please. (Though a writer at Autostraddle tried to get her friends to do it in honor of the show, for a week, and it sounded pretty rad. But nobody I know is about chill breakfast hangs. Brunch yes. Breakfast on a weekday???)

Big no on morning meetings from here too.

Say, board people. Does anyone here plan go to ConFusion this week? Two good friends will be there, and I'm all for awesome people to get to know one another.

Ha! Maybe they have 10am kinds of jobs?

I mean, definitely some people I knew in DC went to work late (it seems less common here in Seattle for time zone reasons but I believe it for LA) but mostly those folks were even less about pre-work morning time than early folks! I'm def more of a morning person than I used to be, in that my natural wake up time has gotten a little earlier, but I still don't rush to DO things in the morning....I'm also not a morning workout person.

I get looks of awe and amazement when other people in my building see me doing my laundry in the morning before work.

We have Outlook and calendars ... but, somehow, in my office we have multiple calendars and it's hard to find one that everyone uses. I have to keep two open - one for the main office and one for me, personally - since the notices of changes to meetings and the attached materials only go to my personal calendar. But the main office calendar has information on when the office is closed, when people are out and so on. This has been going on for YEARS and it's never been resolved. We also have a bunch of calendars that were set up years ago that don't seem to be in use, but that no one seems able to clear off the system.

Isn't technology wonderful?

You're getting a look of awe and amazement from me.

Ditto.
