@louis while four options might be too many to go through to seem “normal” to the other person, I’d totally try this

@louis I’d like to try 4 shifts per week but my job requires I be reachable from 9-12:00 and 13-15:00.

In the summer, often do the bare minimum on Friday and make up the remaining hours throughout the week

> The President in particular is very much a figurehead — he wields no real power whatsoever. He is apparently chosen by the government, but the qualities he is required to display are not those of leadership but those of finely judged outrage.

My 6 year old calls me "father" to mess with me. I showed her this Matt Berry clip and now she'll yell "FAAATHERRRRR!" when she's trying to get my attention .youtu.be/0woAI184sYM?si=h6M615
