I love that I just sent out an email today about:

My office hours (today they ended at 2pm)

Calling/texting my business phone for market-related things

One of the board members tonight called my personal phone at 8:30pm, I was just falling asleep, and now I can't get back to sleep.

😐😐😐 Read, people.

8:30pm, I was just falling asleep

Secretly Belgian 🇧🇪 /s

No but seriously, set up the "do not disturb" mode on the phone to silence every call that isn't from a set of whitelisted numbers, and put only family/friends in there. At least with Android it's possible, idk with iPhones but I imagine it's possible on those too

@Elessar Is that true? I'm not sure...

But, I mean... in Flanders, we like being on time. I have the impression that the younger generation doesn't care that much, but I'm still from a generation that likes to be on time.

My Italian friends, are notoriously late... and my Italian friends think that's really normal.

@Kwek00 I guess it's got to do with the fact you have darker days, or idk, it's probably here in the PIGS that people on average tend to be hyper social. My cousin worked in a smaller city 20 mins from Bruxelles and said everyone went to dinner much earlier than she was accustomed to, and hardly found people that would hang out after dinner, even though they were all freshly graduated.

I'm chronically late for everything so I can confirm that stereotype is true 😆 punctuality is overrated 🙂‍↕

@Elessar you're right, I do need to set up Do not Disturb.

And yeah, I go to bed early sometimes, especially in winter and near the end of the week cause I have to get up sooo early on Saturdays. 🤣
