 ### The Breakfast Club (Thursday Meeting)
 
-#### 9:00-9:45/10:00 AM ET
+#### Wakey Wakey Time (~60 min)
 
 This time is akin to our random chatter before Virtual Coffee announcements. People (read: Meg) are still waking up and getting to their computers. By the first half hour, we usually have a good group online so we get some chit-chat in before settling down.
 
-#### 10:00–11:40 AM ET
+#### Accountabilibuddies Time (~100 min)
 
-We've decided that 10:00 AM is our "buckle down" time and any chatter after that should be focused on helping each other with the tasks at hand. This period is treated much like the `#co-working-room` atmosphere. We're all mainly concentrated on our various tasks. Someone will break the silence occasionally and we chat for a few minutes, but then we get back into the workflow.
