Nope, you have the right idea! Are you able to come in during the hours this morning (it starts at 8:30 am PST)?
And you to whom adversity has dealt the final blow/with smiling bastards lying to you everywhere you go/turn to and put out all your strength of arm and heart and brain/and like the Mary Ellen Carter rise again.

Hi Jellyfish!

Give me just a moment and I can open it a bit early.

Sorry I’m back 🥲, I know im probably over using this, but whenever the chat opens up can I get on? I know there’s a time zone difference so don’t worry about opening early or anything.

Actually never mind I think I’m using this resource wrong. I don’t want to just vent about things that aren’t related to sex, im ace so this probably isn’t the place for me. Thank you for all the help.

Hi Jellyfish,

You're for sure welcome when the chat is on today! We talk with folks about things that aren't explicitly connected to sex all the time (think relationships, sexual orientation, body image, etc), and so far in chat I haven't noticed our conversations being outside the scope of what we can help with.

Okay, but if I ever do step out of that scope please tell me. I don’t want to be a burden.

Hi, our chat on Wednesdays is from 1-3PM PST, so it's not open right now. Here's our chat hours. Do any of those work for you?

Hey jelly!

I just saw your chat log and wanted to apologize that you were left speaking into the void there!

As Sofi said, our chat service window had ended, but it seems one of your previous conversations hadn't closed properly which meant you were able to slip through the net and ask questions even though there was nobody there to answer you at the time!

It's good to make sure we are actually online but I will also fix this problem with our chat as the text person.

Thank you!

Oh I’m sorry, the time difference is confusing so when I saw it was open I just hoped on 😅 I’ll check next time.

I need help, but the chat keeps saying it’s closed even when it’s supposed to be open. I’m sorry if this is annoying but I just really really need help.

Hey there!

This is not annoying at all, I totally understand! I’m here for the next two hours and can open chat to talk with you more, if you’re able to hop in during that time. :)

Hey, jellyfish, I also want to mention that we no longer have set times chat is running, so there isn't a time it's supposed to be open anymore. Instead, we open it when we have staff here who can work it, and when users make a request to use it with us. <3
