What time do you go into work?

Microsoft "core hours" start at 10AM. For most of this week, I've managed to be at my desk by 9:45. The alarm goes off at 8 or 8:15, and I'm out the door by 9:15 - 9:30.

That will teach me to skim before my second pot of tea! That does look pretty interesting. I may have to get it for Beetlejuice the iPhone and try it out.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Well, damn. Me, I'm in by 8. What time do you leave?

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?

This is me. I get to work at 8, but I'm mostly nonfunctional until about 9:30-10. Even now in my current non-caffiene-consuming state.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?

The work hours are the hardest thing about teaching for me. Not even the hours so much as the start time.

In my previous career, we officially started at 8:30, but I usually got in around 9:30 (give or take) and no one cared. In fact, they usually liked that my hours skewed later because I often got last minute requests at 5. Our office closed at 5:30, but because I started later, I'd work till 6:30-ish (usually more like 7 or 8-ish).

Now, I have to leave home at 6:15 (at the latest) in order to be at work by 7:30. It sucks.

6. Well, I catch a 5:45 bus, but I eat lunch at my desk and work, so it evens out.

I’m responsible for my own happiness? I can’t even be responsible for my own breakfast! (Bojack Horseman)

Alarm goes off at 6am, and we have a whole choreography involving taking turns getting up to hit the snooze button. I get out of bed at 6:27 (3 snoozes later), hit the snooze, hit the shower, and Tom gets up at 6:36, goes downstairs, feeds the cats and makes the coffee.

Between 6:55-7:10 (less if I'm being poky about getting ready for work) we drink coffee watching the local morning news.

7:10- go upstairs to brush teeth

7:15- leave for train station, get there at around 7:20 or so

7:25- train arrives (ideally)

get into the office by 8:30am.
