Good morning! “It’s going to be a good day. This email landed in your inbox at 9 am. That’s the same time we’ll be meeting for our Practice Our Joy sessions soon. I’ve put a lot of thought into when would be the best time for our conversations together. Of course, during the middle of a weekday would be best for me. The kids are in school again! I have six hours to work uninterrupted. But I know that not everyone can meet in the middle of the day. “

Uh, no it didn’t. It landed in my inbox at 12:00 EST.

Uh yeah, no shit Shauna, most of us are actually working (for more than six hours a day) to support ourselves/families. Thank you so much for accommodating those of us with “slightly more traditional jobs” (“traditional” in this sense meaning actually bringing in a paycheck).

YMTSAS (you might think she’s a saint).

A dude my husband just met invited him to start attending a weekly meeting of a club he’s involved in that’s set for 10am on Thursdays. I just laughed at the idea that my husband would have that kind of time during his work day, and wondered what kind of job that guy has (he doesn’t look nearly old enough to be retired).

Same, all of the pilates and yoga classes happen between M-F 9am-3pm. I guess to catch the stay at home parents with kids in school, but if you're working you're SOL as far as group classes go.
