to get ready for work?

I get up at 7am to be at work by 9am. It takes me about 40 mins to get ready and about 10 mins to drive to work, but I like getting up and being all leisurely- drink coffee, check the org...

What about you?

over the winter i tried to be up at 5:30am and out the door by 6:20am, so i could be on time for the bus. now that the weather is getting lighter and a little warmer, i still get up at 5:30am (a little earlier, actually) but i either dawdle or go to the gym until 6:15, then i get ready in time to be out the door by 6:45am, and i just walk to the train. yay for multiple public transpo options!

7:30am...though i try to be a little early so i'm not thrown into the fire as soon as i walk in (though they like to throw me in whenever i arrive, so i've been trying to arrive later).

Wake at 6, coffee, another cofee, shower, baby minding while the wife showers, coffee and a bit of breaky (if I can be arsed) off by 8:30, work by 9:30, more coffee.

Up at 6:45, out the door by about 7:30 so I'm early to work, which starts for me at 8. But I always get here about 7:45.

I'm late EVERY day. My alarm goes off at 6:45 and I don't get out of bed until 7:30 the earliest. I should leave my house by 8:15 to be to work for 8:30...but lately I don't leave my house until 8:25. It's just sooooo hard!!!!

Up at 5:30am, out the door by 5:45am. Hit the gym and off 2 work by 7:00am.

dang. do you have an office job? how do you get ready so quickly? do you shave at the gym? do you shave? that's what trips me up in the morning. i hate shaving. it takes forever.

I set the alarm for 8:00am, try to make it in by 9:30am

i don't need much time to get ready...i'm outta bed by 7:30, get my morning hygienics outta the way, get dressed, and i'm out the door by 7:40 or so. work starts at 8, but i walk to work everyday and it takes about 10 minutes for me to get to my job.

The rate I am moving today about 5 hours....usually on a good day an hour and 15 minutes, before I have to leave my house.

Oh, I get up around 9 or 10am. That gives me 4 or 5 hours before I have to leave for work.

i remember those days well...

I've been doing those days for years. I want to have a normal life.

The first alarm clock goes off at 3:55 am, the second one at 4:30 am and I try to get out of bed by 4:45 am. I have to be at work by 5:55 am. I just do not like getting out of my bed. It is warm, cozy and just peaceful in my room. And I don't like going in cold rooms. I dread leaving the house. It takes me only about thirty minutes to get showered and dressed.

i was doing them for years too up until last fall. a normal life is good good GOOD.

Damn...and I thought I had to get up early....
I awake at 5:30....put on sweat pants and a tee shirt, run for however long I feel like it, come back home and meditate, take a shower, feed dog and parrot, and am out of the house by 7:30 and get to work after fighting Atlanta traffic whenever.... I'm making myself tired just thinking about it!

About an hour and a half. I like to take my time, and ease into the day. Watch the morning news, make breakfast, shower, iron my clothes, check my email, etc. I get nervous if I don't give myself plenty of time.

I try to wake up at 6:30 but usually it's after 7... I get myself ready..then work on my daughter... she's four and can't make up her mind on what to wear to school.. so I end up leaving around 8 or after.. get her dropped off and then to work at 8:30 instead of 8.

I try..

Right on both counts. I do shave at the gym and eat breakfast in my office. Also, I kinda pack everything I need (i.e. lunch, nomad and stuff) in my back pack the night before. It was hell training myself 2 do this, but it's easy now.

Depends. I have to be at work at 9am. If I'm staying at my place, the alarm is set for 7:30. An hour to get ready (<-- an hour has been my standard get-ready time since I was a little kid ), 15 minutes to walk to work, and a 15-minute buffer for snoozing or coffee or whatever.

If I'm staying with my guy, I have to allow about 45 minutes extra for driving. Commuting sucks.

Ditto...except I have to leave at 8:10 and I don't until 8:15!

Alarm 6.45, at work by 7.50, I have the keys and the alarm code, so I can't ever be late. Leave between 5 - 5.15pm, same story Mon 2 Fri.

Lazy arse!!

I give myself about an hour an a half. i need a half an hour to lie around in bed and waste time before i get up and face the world.

lets see. i have to be at work at 9am and the kids have to be at school at 8am. so... i get up at 630, get them ready send them off to school at about 7:30 (for breakfast) then i get myself ready, i'm out the door by 830, a lot of times i doesn't work out like that because i'm too sleepy and i end up being late

I wake up around noon, or when ever my eyes open. I don't wakeup to an alarmclock buzzing. Then I go downstairs and make some coffee. I wake up the wife, and we sit drinking coffee and waking up for the next two hours. Alot of the time we will sit and watch a movie, or we will just watch something on television. A couple of hours later we walk upstairs into our offices and thus our day starts.

Horrifying stories like this take my blues away right now. Just a little bit.
