So I work from home and I have 3 teens in the house this summer. I had to prepare and present analytics. For the upcoming planning for 2024. I explained to the teens that I would be unavailable for an hour. And gave them a time. 3 minutes before I presented the eldest brings his pet rat down in a box and asks I I can watch him so he can clean the cage. 🙄 yeahhhhhh nooooooo. One. More month to go.

I can totally relate. Kids and teens are myopic by nature. They have gotten better over time, but they sometimes forget that I'm "unavailable." Sigh. Looking forward to school starting as well.

Sound like your teens either just forgot your schedule and you should post it or have a family calendar, or they just don’t care. If the latter, you have bigger issues to deal with and limited time left to do so.
I suspect it’s the latter because your post suggests that being unavailable to them for an hour is a big deal/unusual.
Before you go ballistic, I have a teenager too. And they respect my time!

Strategies for getting a job at Wieden + Kennedy:

1. Create a competitive shop that will steal all of their clients in the future, forcing them to acquire you today.
2. Become friends with every person at the agency and have them all refer you on the same day.
3. Just win all of the awards.
4. Start showing up to their office with big ideas, and complain about HR not being able to find you in the system occasionally.
