Original Sunshine- OMG! In the office at 6.30 am? good grief!

OK so what time does everyone go to bed to get up at the crack of a sparrows fart? how many hours sleep are you all getting?

up at 5:30, in gym at 5:45, in office at 6:30. obliged to work 8 hours, plus half an hour unpaid lunchtime. finishes me at 3pm. go home, time to do homework with children, before taking them to rugby/football/gym/swimming/cubs/etc. supper with whole family sitting down at 6:30pm. kids bathed, bedded by 7:30pm. lights out for me at 9:30pm. pretty much 8 hours sleep per night.

Re: Early mornings

I could go in at 630 but I wouldn't be coherent til 830 ish can quite happily work til the small hours though and stay focused. My New Years resolution was to stop working weekends and finish by 8 pm and I'm not doing too bad- well see around deadline time!

Ctfc what trade are you in?

blimey!! I used to wake up at those hours a long time ago, when I was in production, pre-dawn light being good and all that nonsense but only because I was being paid obscene amounts of money :rofl:

To be honest Patsy I thought you'd be in the second group.

x 2 on both accounts :D

Re: Early mornings

Dubai Airports staff hours are 07.30 - 2.30 and although we work with them I generally work 07.00 - 3.00 or a bit longer depending what's going on. Up at 6, leave the house at 6.30.

I don't go out during the week darling, for that very reason, I don't have a sensible head and would stay out until the end :D
However, I am now into my 7th week no drinking so, when I go out, I am usually in by 1am at the weekends :)

the last 6 months with my previous employer it was up around 10am, maybe head to the office for an hour around 1pm, or maybe not go at all.

Now, I'm up 6:45 for an 8am start. Thankfully moving house this weekend and that'll buy me another 30mins in my bed :)

Get up at 5, at work by 6:15. Home about 2-3pm depending on a few things.

Do you fancy him?
Do you think maybe you are slightly gay?
How would that go down?
I'd welcome it. Maybe you should listen to and watch Macklemore and Ryan Lewis' track; Same Love. You'll feel better for it.

Because my impression of her is that she does not have work to go to since she does not seem that she needs to. She seems to be living comfortably off the generous inheritance she got from her parents who made their fortune when working in the Gulf!!!

All times are GMT -12. The time now is 8:36 am.
