Manager: we should arrange regular catchups, I have several Monday morning, how about 10:30, that'd be 9:30 your time?

Me inside: dude, we both know I struggle to be up in time for the scrum at 10, do you really think I'm going to be any better at 9:30?

Me outside: How about 10:30 after scrum?

Manager: OK, that works, I have half an hour between meetings

Me: Thank fuck.

    I have to start work at 9:00 at the latest. Meaning: I start work at exactly 9:00.

    The daily meeting is at 9:15, so from 9:00 to 9:15 I just turn on the computer, launch programs, check if any mail is super urgent, then already start the meeting with microphone and camera off and close my eyes again for a few more minutes.

    Once a colleague was actually visible lying in bed for a few seconds during that meeting, luckily that can't so easily happen to me, because there is a physical slider in front of the camera.

    @Fabian same, except my meeting is at 10:15, so I don't do anything for one hour.

    I have medical shit that causes fatigue, lethargy, nausea, insomnia, other stuff.

    Mornings aren't great.

    I just ask my manager to reschedule our daily scrum to 4pm. 😂
