What Are You Doing Right Now

In Nica and Italy, the fruit truck is daily. In Spain it was weekly, but had way more stuff (and we lived on a remote mountain so that was likely a factor.)

I just want to find this mythical fruit truck... wherever it may be.

I can tell you where loads of them are.

In Nicaragua it was a fruit cart. This woman walked by every morning and stood right in front of our door.

Nicaragua is pretty far from Atlanta.... I may not be able to see that one from here.

@RojoLoco You have to believe it exists to see it. Like Narnia

I would've thought it would be more like a "not my problem shield".... much more efficient than a full stealth field

All those people don't count - they mostly work from home.

Then you don't count from the other side either, as you mostly work in an office.

See how that works?

No, that's not the same at all - But I suppose that those fruit, etc, vendors could make visits to my office to sell our employees things during the day.

The 8 PM drive by does resolve this whole thing though....

It's totally the same. You want to discount people who work from home from the list of people who are at home available to buy fruit. Why? If the question is "who is available to buy fruit at noon" the answers are "people who go home from the office, people who work from home and people who don't work." You can't just eliminate the group from the answer and say it doesn't count.

If you can, then if you ask who ISN'T home to get fruit from the cart we would equally eliminate anyone that works from an office. It's exactly equal. If you think it's in any way silly to discount people who go to an office to work, then you see how silly it is to discount people who don't.

No, I don't want to discount them - I'm just saying they are in the minority is all. Yes I said you people don't count.. I didn't actually mean you/they don't count.. I only meant they are in the minority.

What percentage of the population do you think that is part of the workforce and is home at noonish? and no I don't count those who go home for lunch (but even if you do count those people, only 2 people in my office of 90 go home for lunch on nearly a daily basis).

I think, and no offence, but that's a bit of moving goal posts. There are a lot of people in the population (work or general) who are home at noon. People who work the second or third shift, people who don't work, home makers, people who work from home, people who own a home based business (think farmers). I agree they are probably in the minority but I don't think the minority is that small.

But they are also just part of the picture along with people who don't work, people who work alternative hours, people who come home during the day, people who work right across from home, etc.

Right, it's easily not the minority. And others, say teachers, who are not home at noon.... are actually home at noon for much of the year.

I'm guessing most care more of the US options - i.e. closer to home.

How many days do you feel that they work? Students aren't in school that many days of the year. Teachers are in more than students, but not that many more in most districts.

Same for professors. I know at the college I went to there are often seven months between professors being available even for email, let alone in the office.
