10:23 a.m.
What is it about hamfests that cause otherwise
sane individuals to get up at the crack of dawn?
Almost every computer involved person I know who
has any control of their work schedule:
1) Gets up after the sun has properly warmed the earth
where they live
2) Eats lunch for breakfast
3) Eats dinner for lunch
4) Has Chinese delivered at 1 a.m. for dinner
5) Sleeps till 2 or 3 p.m. on Saturday if at all possible
Like, I imagine, most people on this list, I do not regard myself as sane.
That said, I think the morning is a sadly under-rated time of day. My alarm
clock goes off at 6 am whether I need to go to work or not. I get up any time
between 6.00 and 7.15 on work days, 6.00 and 8.00 on other days. It is not
quite random - if I have been short of sleep lately, or am in the middle of a
good book, I tend to get up later.
And I find it quite hard to do anything remotely involving the brain after 10pm.
Am I really that unusual?
Philip.
