Morning Pat. I've been getting up around 4 - I can be here at the plant in about 35 minutes and it doesn't take long to grab a shower and throw on a pair of jeans and a sweatshirt.

 

I have about the same routine, except I don't have to get up until 5:20 or so.

 

Yeah. It's not a bad gig all things considered. I don't have to dress up every day anymore and that's a positive. When I was in consulting engineering, it was dress slacks and dress shirts every day, so I actually had to think about what I was wearing. Of course those days never started before 7, usually 7:30.

 

I'd love to be able to start at 7:30-8:00. This getting up at 5:20 gets old after a while. Especially this morning, when I woke up at 3:15, and couldn't go back to sleep for over an hour.

 

Yeah, that would kinda be nice to go back to. Our production crews run staggered starts from as early as 5AM, so it makes most sense to be here when they are...but then I end up being here til 5 at night anyhow.

 

Morning Bill, Steve, Pat, Craig, Shaun, Rebel and anyone that I missed...hope that your day is a good one.

Man, and I complain about having to be in the office by 9 I have my alarm set for 6:35 and if I make it to the kitchen by 7, I am doing fine. End up making breakfast and my lunch. Get dressed and out the door around 8. It is about a 35 minute drive in, plus another 5 or so to make it to my desk.

 

Morning Neil. If I got out of here at 2 or 3 PM with the production crews, I wouldn't mind the 5AM starts so much. I'd be able to tackle a few items of personal business while places are still open and what not. But, I never leave before 430 it seems.

Add in that I'm used to it now, and it doesn't bother me.

 

And this is why we hate you..... Morning Neil! I wish I could work at our Elkhorn Center, it is literally 3 minutes from my house, and they start at 8. But, most of that is customer service, or lineman. Neither of which I have any desire to do.

 

I shudder to think how bad I'd be at customer service with how I react to stuff in the plant here at times...lol.

 

Yeah, I don't work well with the public. My edit function tends to malfunction.....LOL

 

It would be nice if that was the case. At times, I do mind that I am here until 5 because it makes it around 6 or so before eating dinner and by the time that is done along with dishes...it is close to 7 or after. Also if I have a doctor's appointment, I either need to go and be the first appointment or grab the last one of the day so that I am taking the least amount of time off. I am working on building my sick time and vacation time back up after my issues this year.

 

I have that issue at times when I am not at the office....lol.

oh, and I hate you too.....

 

Good morning PA... enjoy today's hump!

 

Glad to see I'm not the only one lol...

 

Good morning Pennsylvania. Happy hump day.
