My calendar looks like a Tetris game gone horribly wrong. Is it even possible to have a day with ZERO meetings anymore?

No, I have about 40+ meetings every week. I can sometimes get an hour here or there to myself, but I can't remember the last time I didn't have a meeting on a given day.

I’m booked from 10-6pm most days with not a single break. Which means I have to start my day at 7 or 8 to get ahead of things and finish it around 7 or 8 if I’m lucky.

Mine looks the same way, it's a kaleidoscope of different colored meetings, touch bases, check ins. I don't think there's any avoiding it. Even my "slower" days have 3+ hours worth of meetings on them. Not sure how I'm ever supposed to work...

Sure is. I block Fridays off. Everyone on my team knows it and respects it. Sometimes you have to just take charge and put your foot down.

Nope I’m a CD; 5-7 hours of meetings per day easy.

I had my Assessor interview this past week and received a pre-screening questionnaire that asked about dual citizenship status. Because I don't even have a passport for the country I am a dual citizen for, I didn't even think about the possibile complications this could lead to with my application. I applied through a career fair at school and didn't see the citizenship requirements, so I guess that's on me.
