What time do you leave for work/school?

[JonathonWally]

Depending if my shift starts at 8pm, 11pm, or Midnight, I leave the house 30 minutes before so I can take my sweet time driving 3 miles then BS with people before my shift starts.

 

[TheBrew]

I really need to try driving one of these days. I would like to sleep past 6AM.

 

[CommodoreKong]

My shift starts at 1:30. I leave at about 12:40. It takes me 25-30 minutes to get to work depending on how I hit the lights and how heavy the traffic is. On Fridays, Mondays and Tuesdays I have to park in a parkade and walk about 5-10 minutes through the skywalk to get to work, on Saturdays and Sundays the parking on the street is free so I just park in front of the building so I'll leave 5-10 minutes later on Saturdays and Sundays.

I do not leave for work at all.

The absolute best benefit of my company being acquired 3 years ago by a Big Blue technology company which will remain nameless is that they encourage working from home.

And given that Atlanta has some of the worst traffic in the country and my 13 mile commute used to take over an hour each direction, I was quite happy to get 2 1/2 hours per day back for other things.

Now I get up about 8:45 am and am usually on the phone by 9 am...where I stay most of the day.

Some days I don't get out of my pajamas until after 3.

I worked from home for about an 8 month stint a couple years ago.

As much as I don't like going to work, the lack of structure and social interaction from not having to go anywhere really fucked with me. I had to be "logged on" and had stuff to do, but...I just found it hard. I would not get out of my pyjamas for *days* nor did I leave my house for days at a time at times. I started to get depressed.

Yet I have friends who love it.

Anyway, I leave between 6:45 and 7:30 depending on the weather and if I choose to walk, bike or drive.

I don't. I work from my home office.

I work from home sometimes, sometimes I'm at the office, and a lot of times my car feels like my office. I could never work from home all the time (like my husband does). I think it would drive me crazy.

As is, my time varies every day. I've been waking up and getting into the office earlier lately, though. I love getting in and being productive before other people are even awake yet.

I agree. I can work from home sometimes (just need an internet connection to log in to my workstation), but more likely, I would just not work at all: my house is possessed by the spirit of the lazy sunday afternoon. I prefer to be in my office and be more productive.

I'm the same, but during the night. I like working when everybody else is sleeping. My peak of scientific productivity is usually between midnight and 2am.

I'll never understand the work ethic, really I won't.

The whole point of working from home is surely to not work properly, but do the bare minimum to convince your employer to let you keep the scam going for longer.

Unless you're working for yourself, in which case I can see the point being made.

 

[Delta Belle]

Somewhere between 7:00 and 7:15 am, to get a good parking spot at the train station.

Dilbert knows all.

Busy day today. It's always fun (not) when someone codes on you.

I do work for myself, but also part-time for my parents. I picked up a really intense work-ethic from them and no matter how hard I work, I feel lazy.

 

[Theodore Jay Miller]

I usually leave for work about 7:25 or 7:30 AM. It's a ten-minute walk to the subway stop, I take one train and get off about 8:30 AM, and then another ten-minute walk to my office. I don't mind the train ride; I normally get a seat, and during the trip I either read or close my eyes and rest.

Brilliant.

The trick is never being the first to arrive on scene. An artform in itself.

I'm reading the words but I can't understand what they mean.

 

[Timby]

I've spent seven days a week at my office for the last month and a half or so.

I guess that happens when you're an owner.

 

[TheBrew]

FML, now I am starting at least an hour earlier. So instead of 5:45, I'm looking at even earlier.

Wait...do you even use your stethoscope any more? I thought it just rested in your driver's-side door pocket?

You, too, eh? This week was the very first week I've worked in my current job - about 4 years - that I've been able to idle. Normally in my job, if I get 20 mins to step off the gas I'm lucky. Do I relax and enjoy a bit of de-stress? Oh, no, I spend most of it worrying that I haven't been doing enough!

Your memory's faulty.

It sits in the PASSENGER side door pocket. So chicks getting a ride see it. What would be the point of putting it in the driver's side door pocket?

Son, you have a LOT to learn.

Nah, you just have those backwards English cars! I'll bet you drive on the left side of the road, too!
