Been up at ridiculous o’clock for meeting too much lately. Stopping at 02:00for me is fine provided I can get to sleep in to 09:00. The latter hasn’tactually worked for me this week.
This is why I stayed at an airbnb during the week where I was away from my family and could sleep in! Thankfully that option has been available to me.

To get back on topic, I haven't had THAT many conversations in gather..town, but I have had a couple of great ones - it was really nice to drop past the registration desk and chat with our lovely secretariat, and I have stumbled across conversations with both people I already knew and a couple of times with people I didn't know.
I think the major thing missing is actually inside myself - I feel uncomfortable about just walking up to people in gather.town and barging into their conversations. I expect I'm not alone in this experience, because the normal social cues are missing. I expect I would have been welcome in more conversations if I'd just gone and joined them.
