If I get another Slack or Teams message that says “I know you’re busy but…” I am gonna lose it. If you know I am busy go ask someone else or email me and I will get to it when I am not as busy. The apology doesn’t make you any less rude or disruptive it actually just tells me that you just don’t have any respect for my time. This is the cause of burnout…

Eh, I take it as them acknowledging that you are busy, and that whatever they are saying can come after whatever you’re working on.

Haha. It may expire before I bother then. Once the screen rolls up or the notification blinks off, I dismiss it.

I do not write that neither to my manager..
I just ask the due answer to my stupid question!

The short: Would anyone be up for starting regular virtual co-working sessions? I’m thinking 2-3 rounds of [5 mins to set intentions : 45 mins of work : 10 min break].

Everyone works on their own thing and stays muted during work blocks, but videos stay on. It reminds me of studying in the library vs at home

I am trying to write a stock letter to send to parents everyday that their child does not come to virtual learning sessions.

For some of my students this is everyday due to parent work schedules and disability issues.
