On my way to work today, it occurred to me that it might be fun to see how much time us 'Holers spend getting ready for, and to, our workplaces. So I envisioned a thread called "Alarm to Desk," and we would compare times.
Then it occurred to me that just about everyone on this forum has a loosie-goosie job, or no job, or a travel-oriented job.
So, I guess it's maybe Wren and me who are expected at a certain time at our desks each day, huh....
Anyhoo, my alarm goes off at 6 and I am at my desk by 7.
FASCINATING, HUH?!?!?!

Oh boy. I get woken up at 7 a.m. by the kids. I leave the house at about 7:45. Now, if everything is good, I'm at the desk between 8:15 and 8:30. However, most days it takes a full hour to get to the office. And it's getting worse, not better.

Alarm at 6:10, wake the boys up at 6:30, get the boys ready until 7:00, coffee at Casey's at 7:07 and at work by 7:20. Considering the three years I commuted for an hour and 20 minutes, I LOVE my schedule! 'Course, that commute is no different than if Marshall missed the train!

I'm generally up at Stupid O'Clock in the morning because of an on-going years-long bout of insomnia. I have to be at work by 8:30 am, but usually get here between 8:00 and 8:15.
The best part is I drive through some of the prettiest countryside on the way to work. Depending on traffic, I can drive past Salisbury Cathedral, Sting's Lake House, Stonehenge, or through the Durrington Walls. I have to be one of the luckiest Yanks in the UK.

When I worked day shift, alarm went off at 5:20 and I was at the office by 6:30. Now, I wake up when I'm ready. Have to be at the office by 2:30PM and leave at 11PM.
Better than when I was in DC. Then the alarm went off at 3:30AM and was at the office before 5:15AM. Don't miss those days at all

I don't have an alarm but I generally get up when I want too. I also come back to my desk about when I want to and check in here to see what y'all are up to. Then I may or may not do a little office work, pay bills and etc. Then it's the guitar or the mandolin.

5:30, feed cats and dog, shower shave etc, coffee and news check. I unfortunately live a quarter mile from work so I go the long way for my car's health, and get to the hell hole at 6:45!

Hour and a half sometimes two... sometimes maybe an hour. Depends on what I decide for breakfast.
Being old, slow, and cranky is not what I had expected.
