Z:30
I really prefer life when I don’t have to deal with DTOM.
This one always asks for a meeting with me. (I am never the one who says hey we should catch up. Trust me, I can find no reason to.)
If I’m free, I’m free. If I have meetings (I always have meetings), I say I can’t do X time but I can do anything at/after Y.
Then it’s always 10 conflicts.
Then when I finally say all right let’s do Z, the reply is ALWAYS let’s do Z:30.
Like they HAVE to win.
That’s such a Brad thing to do. Which I recognized then as manipulation.
Like, if you say “I know you’re busy, when can you fit me in” and I tell you I am wide open around 1, why do you suggest 1:30 every single time?
Part of me tries to assume that people don’t know they do this. But, I know how Brad had to win things that didn’t need to be battles.
So, Z:30 it is.
