Good thread! -Alarm goes off at 7:20. Hit snooze. -Alarm goes off again at 7:29. Hit snooze for another 9 minutes unless it's a shave day (it's nice to only have to shave every other day, eh, ima?). -Get out of bed. Sometimes my wife and 1-year-old son will come in and wake me up, which is nice. Either way, I get up. -Pick out clothes to wear. Tell my wife what to iron. -Take a shower, maybe shave. -Put on clothes as I watch Sportscenter/ESPN news. -At 7:55, Kiss the wife and kid, pet the dog, and walk five minutes to work. -Get two cups of coffee as I read news/CF.net BBS/get my work ready for the day. -Start my work day at 9-9:30ish as my supervisor strolls in for the day (bankers hours).
For non-gig/non-rehearsal/non-girlfriend nights, like last night.....in bed and asleep by 9:00 PM Wake up at 3:45 AM At the gym working out from 4:00-5:15 AM Coffee, breakfast, newspaper, KTRH, packing lunch - 5:15 AM-6:30 AM Commute - 6:30 AM-7:00AM In the office - 7:00 AM - 4:00/4:30 PM
This is tough..when I was single, things were a lot simpler. Uh, now it is more complicated. 6:20 to 6:30 - get up (if I have to shave, if not get up at 6:45) 6:30 to 7:00 - shower and shave and also pick out what to wear (iron if necessary which I try to avoid doing) 7:00 to 7:30 - take dogs outside, feed them when I come back in, make sure that my daughter is up, the wife now gets up around this time and she takes care of stuff like getting my daughter's clothes and shoes and brushing her teeth, etc. Meanwhile, I pack my lunch and snacks and eat breakfast if I have time. 7:30 to 8:00 - kiss the wife goodbye, take my daughter to school (the school is across the street), go on to work (usually takes me like 8 minutes from my daughter's school to my workplace). Depending on what time I get to work (used to be after 8 but it is now before 8 thankfully), as soon as I park, I get my work badge along with the things I have brought to eat. I put those things up and log on. After checking my timecard, I then get on the internet.
I have a morning ritual that I need to share. I call it 'the terminator'. First I crouch down in the shower in the classic 'naked terminator traveling through time' pose. With my eyes closed I crouch there for a minute, visualizing either Arnold or the guy from the second movie (not the chick in the third one because that one sucked) and I start to hum the terminator theme. Then I slowly rise to a standing position and open my eyes. It helps me to proceed through my day as an emotionless, cyborg badass. The only problem is if the shower curtain sticks to my terminator leg. It ruins the fantasy.
-wife & dog wakes me up -think about a shower -drag sleepyass to office, turn everything on -drag sleepyass to kitchen for a cup of instant coffee -think about a shower again -drag slowly awakeningass back to office -online to CFnet -think about a shower -good reading at CFnet -smell armpits, "good for another day" -check email -ok...maybe I'll start work now (no joke) RR
Try twice a week. I always have a little stubble going. It's my VERY small way of rebelling against corporate America. Forgot about girlfriend nights, RMTex: -Her alarm goes off at 5:30 (have sex if time permits..) -She turns on TV to Lifetime and gets in shower -I change it to ESPN and stay in bed... -She finishes in bathroom, I take my turn -She puts TV back on Lifetime... -We're ready at the same time, 6:30 or so -Have sex again.....just kidding -Stop by Whataburger to get breakfast since I have extra time -Get to work at 7, surf net until 8 when it's time to start work....then surf the net until lunch
Phone alarm goes off at 8 Hit snooze every twelve minutes until my boyfriend texts me at around 9:40 during one of his work breaks Go to the bathroom then if I have to, if not I go to the computer and check my email, the BBS, yada yada At around 10:10 I go to the kitchen for some cereal and hot tea, and make a sandwich to bring for lunch At around 10:30 I throw on some clothes, put deodorant on, and look for all my books At 10:35 I gather my phone, keys, notebooks, and textbooks, and put my messy hair in a ponytail usually I have about a 5 minute window which I may or may not use. At 10:45-10:50 I head over to school, for either my 11:10 or 11:30 classes, depending on the day.

Average is about 8:00 probably -Turn over in bed to the laptop that's sitting here and check e-mail -Lay around for 5-60 mins unless I have something pressing that day (a meeting, an appointment, whatever)...laying around may involve checking Clutchfans -Shower, shave, get dressed -Eat cereal if I'm early -Brush teeth -Watch some TV if I feel like it -Drag my lazy ass to work and chill out.. I'll end up at work sometime between 7:30am and 11:30am depending on how things work out. Unless I decide to work from home for the day. (average is probably 10:30 nowadays..)

Dry and comb hair. Deodorant, Cologne. (If I can't be Happy, at least I can smell Happy [for Men by Clinique]) Get dressed. Wife meets me at the phone door and asks every morning: "Phone, Wallet, Keys?" I check to make sure I got em all, kiss her, and go out the door. Out the door by 7, at work by 7:50. Grab a Pibb Next and check emails, WWTDD, then BBS. not so Good Day Cell Phone alarm goes off at 6:15. Snooze until 6:23, then 6:31, 6:39, 6:47, 6:55; 7:03. Stumble in to shower. No shave.
