My friends like to make plans but refuse to decide on a meeting time so that I'm stuck in torturous limbo land all day. Assholes don't understand the pain.

"oh I wasn't sure if you are still coming so I made other plans"

Better than a 7am appointment, now that will really ruin my day. Doesn't matter if I got 8 hours sleep the night before (I definitely didn't but let's pretend for a moment), I'm going to be tired for the rest of the week.

I have the opposite experience. I use early appointments as a tool to get me up and moving, dressed, presentable, etc. Then I have some momentum for the later part of the morning and afternoon.

It's 2:28pm. I'm almost there. I managed to lessen the agony by researching a surgery my dog might need and making opossum memes. Just 30 more minutes, and I can have this damn meeting, then enjoy my day.

I feel like any appointment is problematic.

I hate scheduling things... but also don't call me out of the blue.

Just leave me alone, is all I'm asking.

Just reading this makes me uncomfortable

Why? That's the best time of day for an appointment. I've plenty time to actually sleep well, not rush to get ready, not be late, actually be awake when I get there. Well I might still be late

Because I'm gonna get up at 10, slowly get ready until about noon, and then be in stasis until it's time for the appointment.

[–] guy 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Sounds alright. I've got a phone, computer, TV, job. Might not be focused enough to actually be productive, but I'd rather that than be rushed, unready and unslept

Sure, would have been nice to do literally anything else with my whole-ass day though.

I used to work 5pm shifts every day, it was hell until I finally just started going to bed at 8-9am and waking up an hour before my shift started. Anything can be a morning activity if you’re flexible enough on what morning means.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 10 months ago (1 children)

This is okay for me - if I have the day off, I can sleep in (that’s huge for me); if I have to work, cool, I can leave a bit early.

But I also understand that not everyone’s internal clock works the same, and so a win for one of us is a loss for others.

May everyone be able to find what works for them and make it happen :)

Internal... clock... you say? Interesting.

[–] Toneswirly 5 points 10 months ago

Bruh, 9am or bust

Or any time, really.
