I am usually available for coffee between 8:20 AM and 11am on weekdays and between 11 AM and 2:30 PM for lunch. The same times apply for remote meetings.
I know a lot of you think I'm too busy to pester, while others have no idea what it is I do, or have a dated idea of what it is I do.

What would you like to work on next, or improve?
