You didn't insult me that's for sure. lol
Maybe I was too harsh. Sorry for that.

My point was that we all hope we can have the convenience (even out of necessity in an emergency) of being able to take a day off from our team & not worrying that it will crash & burn without us that one day.

That said, I'll reply to your response.

I don't really miss sleep going to team meetings since we have them only when the school is open usually - until 8pm on weekdays & around 6pm or maybe a little later on weekends, but being there every day & having to think about ideas or do something is a mental strain & mentally & physically tiring at times, so catching up on sleep is an option I would take.

Other than that, participating in some winter activities such as a day to go snowboarding (if I were to skip a team meeting during the weekends) would be a plus!
Sometimes we do that & it is actually with team members if a meeting is canceled, so it's all good.
Even at times like that, the build season (for a day) is gone but not forgotten.
