- Wie wär's wenn wir uns am Dienstag treffen?
- Das paßt mir gut. Am Sonntag habe ich eh (=sowieso) keine Zeit.

for "eh" read "sowieso"

'eh' in this context has a mixture of meanings: it is used as a filler, as well as an intensification

It means "anyway". Anyway ;-) "eh" does not work for "anyway" in every context (e.g. not in this sentence.

Thank you for the quick response! And to you all, yes I work in Wien! Amazing how one small word gives everything away...

Another synonym for "eh", which is less colloquial, is "ohnehin".
