This query generates a total of 36 rows (3 days x 3 machines x 4 time slots per day). In this article, we’re going to show you how to remove a whole bunch of extraneous code, such as the two CTEs, and minimize the effort to create the Cartesian product across any duration of time slot using a function I’ll call CalculateTimeSlots, which will be introduced just a bit later. When making an appointment, you can suggest a few time slots, but always say something like “If these times do not suit you, please feel free to let me know any other time that you prefer / that is convenient to you.”. ‘In its original weekday time slot, the show became an enormous cult hit.’ ‘I guarantee everyone will keep the time slot they had at the end of last year.’ ‘Getting solo acoustic performers ready three to five minutes before their time slot doesn't need to be a headache, even if they have limited stage experience.’.

Could you please give me some time-slots for the following week? My apologies, but I am not available for the whole week of June 26. Could you please propose some time-slots for the following week? Could you please tell me which one between the above sentences is correct? Is my usage of the word 'time-slots' correct?

As a current or aspiring entrepreneur, you should be meeting with a ton of people (potential customers, investors, biz dev partners, employees, journalists).

You will often get introduced via email or you are cold-emailing them.

You are probably excited to meet with them and correctly assume that they are busier than you. So, like the nice person you are, you want to be as flexible as possible.

And, that’s when you make the mistake of saying: “I’m pretty free the next two weeks, let me know when works for you.”

You may think you are being nice and flexible; but, you’re actually frustrating them.

What you actually just said: “Hey, why don’t you spend some time going through your schedule, pick out some times that work and email them to me. I’ll then sit back and pick one that I like.”

If you really want to be respectful of their time (and you should), your goal is to have them do as little work as possible to get the meeting arranged.

Eric Friedman made some good suggestions on how to most effectively set up an appointment and I’ll reiterate them here with some additional tips based on my experience.

You should do this from the very first communication to reduce the back and forth.

Suggest Possible Times

Go through your calendar and suggest possible days and times that work for you. For instance, I do the following:

The following dates/times (EST) work for me:

Monday, 1/24: 11am – 12pm EST; 2pm – 3pm EST

Tuesday, 1/25: 2pm – 4pm EST

Friday, 1/28: 10am – 12pm EST; 2pm – 4pm EST

Some additional tips:

• The more time slots you suggest the better
• Make sure you specify your time zone (people will assume they are in your timezone)
• The busier the person is, the farther out your suggested time slots should be

Suggest Meeting Location or Phone Number

If it’s a phone call, I always say: “My number is 212-555-0001 but I”m happy to call you.” If you’re trying to set up a meeting with several people, you should get a free conference call number and include the dial-in information.

If it’s an in-person meeting, you should suggest going to their office (confirm their office address in the email) or picking two coffee shops or restaurants (if it’s a breakfast or lunch meeting) that are near their office.

If you do all of the following, not only will the meeting get quickly arranged but, by making it less frustrating for the person you are emailing, it also increases the chances of getting the meeting set up in the first place.

Update: Great comments over at hacker news including another reason to do this is that it suggests you respect your time. I know that sounds like a bad excuse but, unfortunately, appearances do matter.

Fairy tales are wonderful ways of interpreting reality. While most children absolutely agree to that, adults may laugh and be skeptical about it. Yet we all really hope for miracles to happen sometimes, and when our logical assumptions don’t work, we start to remember the subtle fairy tale logics of magic and miracle. Being too serious about life often means less fun to it, while reality without a touch of imagination and dream is quite a depressing thing. Thus, classical casino games, freeslots online and all sorts of other computer machines are our way to escape the boring reality, while the creatures we choose to fight online may reduce the amount of aggression and stress in real life.

The graphics and animations give the Once Upon A Time story a modern variation of magic basing on the classical characters of a knight, a princess and a dragon, making it a good choice among freeslots games online and when playing for real money as well.
