I just don't understand why this is so hard to figure out

Posted by znufrii Feb 24 '11, 07:05

if I say the analyst is available 10:30-2:30, why would someone think to request that we start the call at 2:30?

"Check his outlook calendar. See how at 2:30pm, the block turns blue? That means he's not available. This isn't hard. I can totally see how you - Will Hunting Feb 24, 07:12 1
- of course this operates under the assumption people actually keep their outlook calendars up to date... -- nm - znufrii Feb 24, 07:24

because they assume you're giving a window of start times. -- nm - mafic Feb 24, 07:09 9
- for god's sake, why would they think that? -- nm - znufrii Feb 24, 07:23 1
  - hell if I know, but they seem to be. but seriously start saying "it has to be over by 2:30." -- nm - mafic Feb 24, 07:26
- this is what I would think as well. -- nm - decline Feb 24, 07:10 6
  - I would assume the window closes at 2:30 pm. Maybe that's just me and my Outlook. -- nm - Diva Feb 24, 07:11 5
    - this is what I'd assume as well, but given this isn't the first time znu has mentioned something like this, I'd take to saying something like - mafic Feb 24, 07:13
    - absolutely. he is available until 2:30. at 2:31 he is unavailable. -- nm - Andie Feb 24, 07:12 3
      - though it also depends on how the question was phrased. if it's "when is he available to start a call?" and you answer 10:30-2:30, it's within reason. -- nm - mafic Feb 24, 07:15 1
        
        if they had phrased the request that way, I would have responded accordingly. -- nm - znufrii Feb 24, 07:32
