What time do you get to work?

Poll?

Normally between 7:00 and 7:15am. I'll leave after completing my 'Professional Working Day'.

Anywhere between 8 (if I cant sleep) and 10 (if I had a hard night

) but the average is between 9 and 9.30. I prefer to miss the traffic and not be stressed out with sitting in a traffic queue by the time I get to work.

I don't wear a suit for anyone - not even to interviews.... Even at my current gig which is defined as smart-casual, I have quietly introduced black jeans and trainers

Anytime between 8am-9.30am. Normally consists of rolling out of bed, rolling into the office, logging on to the client's network then getting dressed etc. before settling down to work.

When not working at home I'm normally on site between 8 and 8.30 as I prefer to get in early and leave early to miss the traffic or the school kids.

I travelled into London a little later this morning, usually I get into to my office at 8.00 am, and by 9.00 have managed to abuse every commie loving contractor on CUK. The people who travel in my sort of time I look upon as being the smart "go getters" of London, me of course included

.

Anyway this morning at Clapham jct at 8.30/9.00 the trains and stations are still busy and I wondered what type of people travel in at this time. If they are workers the dress is clearly different. By this time "shiny suits"

have given way to an assortment of trousers, trainers /brown shoes/sandals and jackets. There is also a plethora of rucksacks (cant they afford to buy a sandwich from pret?).

So who are they? Going by the dress code and rucksacks could they be IT contractors? or are they "get in when you can" public sector workers?

I was tempted to start asking some of them.

It's attitudes like this that make me really angry.

My job in software development doesn't require me to interface, on a day to day basis, directly with anybody. Within reason, what ****ing difference does it make what start and finish times I choose?

Why am I a bad employee because I choose to work 9:30 to 6:00 and a good employee if I choose to work 8:00 to 4:30?

touchy tetchy

You are obviously not in a customer focussed job, so either you are a public sector worker or you are back office connon fodder

You are Gordon Brown? (notice that when it came to ingratiating himself to the Saudi head of state, he damned well wore a bow tie and evening suit then.?

What time do you get to work?
