Cancer Posted October 26, 2010 Report Share Posted October 26, 2010 Re: Longest Running Thread EVER Y'know, I am getting tired of having the alarm go off at 0505 four days a week. The term is not quite half over, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
L. Marcus Posted October 26, 2010 Report Share Posted October 26, 2010 Re: Longest Running Thread EVER Seems a tad early, yes. Long commute, I gather? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cancer Posted October 26, 2010 Report Share Posted October 26, 2010 Re: Longest Running Thread EVER Not really; alarm at 0505, shower dress eat and out the door about 0545. Bus scheduled to leave the transit station at 0603. I walk in the office door about 0630, closer to 0640 if I get a cup of coffee en route (usually) or I have to walk around the building to the place with the ID card reader because the turnkey hasn't got the doors unlocked yet. At that point it's 75-90 minutes 'til class starts, which is enough time to iron out a few things (if they're minor; one thing, if it's major) before class.

Though my alarm goes off at 0430, and I need to be out the door by 0515. BART train leaves at 0532 and gets to San Fran at 0625. Then a wait of between 0 and 30 minutes for a MUNI train. Usually I'm at my desk by 0700. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cancer Posted October 26, 2010 Report Share Posted October 26, 2010 Re: Longest Running Thread EVER The upside is that most days I can walk out of here at 1530 and get out of downtown before the daily rush hour snarl builds up. Then I can get home about 1620 if traffic is smooth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cancer Posted October 26, 2010 Report Share Posted October 26, 2010 Re: Longest Running Thread EVER I got into that sort of schedule long ago, when it was important to have an on-site caregiver for the kids at home. I loaded my work into the morning and got home early; my wife had her work time later. This is no longer an issue, but the habit persists.
