I start work anywhere from 12-1pm and stop anywhere from midnight-5am.  Sometimes I take days off.  Sometimes I&apos;m too busy to answer the phone.  My schedule for something like this is pretty much unpredictable.&lt;p&gt;Proposal: rather than specifying hours, just let me specify here / gone like a regular IM client.  If it looks like it&apos;s going to be a slow day, I&apos;ll turn on the tap, and if things pick up I&apos;ll turn it off.</text></comment>
