My thing is: How do people handle stuff that has to be done between 9-5, Mon-Fri?
I tried to switch ISPs on Friday (which was an hour-long ordeal), got to the part where she said “Okay, I think that’s everything I have for you. I’ve got the disconnect screen pulled up, when would you like to —“ and the call dropped.
It’s now Tuesday, and I haven’t found a spare hour during the work day to call again.
I’ve also got a home warranty company telling me to update my claim or they’ll close it, but I need to talk to the receptionist at the plumbers during business hours to get them to resend the invoice.
And then I get stuck in this loop of:
I have to make these calls today
I’ll kick butt at work so I have enough time
I spent the whole time worrying about those calls and didn’t get enough work done
Now I have one less day to make those calls
Why can’t people handle things over email or a web portal? This is so much unnecessary stress and contortion.
To answer to your first question, we don’t have such demanding 9-5 jobs. I can step out for an hour and no one will notice I’m missing, I’m invisible at work and it’s the way I like it
