Wasn't there some study about not expecting anyone to functionally brain before 10am or something? I dunno but I feel like I read about it here at b.org.

I don't know about a study, but I have remarked here that once we went to a strict 9am start time my employer started paying me for getting nothing done beyond drinking coffee in my first hour, and lost the productive hour I would have been working from 5:30 to 6:30pm or so.

I am so doomed next week. I'll be at the Ottawa office, and we've got 9am meetings the whole time. My body will think it's 6am, which is effectively the middle of the night for me and my sleep phase displacement disorder. I'm trying to shift my sleep schedule this week, but damn, it's difficult.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

It's about an hour each way.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Forget being a dog or whatever, in cyberspace no one knows you're still in bed.

delurking from Ottawa to wave...and commiserate. My boss recently made me start coming in at 9 instead of 9:30. Fortunately his office is far away and he hasn't seen me creep in at 9:15 because I just can't get it together.

Jilli, if you would like any info on dining or attractions in Ottawa from a local feel free to send me an e-mail at my profile addy (umm, once I go make sure there's an e-mail address in there, which I will do right now).

Oooh, thank you! As soon as I know my work meeting schedule, I will take you up on that. (I suspect I'm going to have a lot of dinner meetings, in addition to office meetings.)

I had to get up at 8am on Sunday because my mom really wanted to go to this craft fair. I tactfully reminded them that it was 5am my time and that getting coffee in me was not optional.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Ugh, going from Pacific to Eastern time is just brutal.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Dag, so it literally just occurred to me that I should have a will, because I think it would be kind of a mess for my father to inherit from me. Huh. So there's a fun to-do item!

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

Cincinnati Bell dude can't figure out the problem.

I hate everything.
