The weekly commute

[SuperZ]

How the heck do people get out of bed and get off to work so quickly? Just a shave and a shower takes me best part of 20 mins, that's without all the other stuff such as teeth, a smelly no.2, quickly wipe shower area around to dry it, breakfast, mouth wash, contact lenses, check I have everything and anything I need to do to the home before I leave.

Please give me a run down on your 30min morning routine someone?

Apart from the opportunity to invoice.

Shave Sunday evening. Pack bags Sunday evening. Monday morning, shower for 2-3 mins, dry off, clean teeth, put on clothes, eat a bread roll and drink a cup of coffee, then go. No hair combing as my hair’s cut to 3mms, no fannying about with suits and ties as clientco doesn’t want them. All done in <30 minutes. Have a tulip on the train.

Hopefully this will work for you. Has for mine and friends I've told about it. Read it somewhere on the interweb....

Anyway, set your alarm for 45 mins before baby normally wakes (ours used to wake at 4:00 every morning) Disturb them somehow, but don't wake them, sneaking in the room and stroking her hair used to work for ours, then go back to bed. Do this for 3 days in total, and hopefully they'll sleep past their normal wakeup routine. It's all about disturbing the set routine apparently. We've now got a little girl who goes 7pm-7am, thankfully.

Sounds terrifying and alien but I will give it a go. Ta! He is teething and currently nearly always ends up in my bed anyway after I've given up at around 2am and am close to insanity. So that doesn't help. Bad mummy.

When did you leave the UK?

[Tarquin Farquhar]

Up at 5 a.m. and just a bit

Am I complaining? ¢€rtain£y not!

Who else gets up at stupid o'clock?

I drive over on Sunday evening, and back on Friday evening. It makes the weekend very short, and it's beginning to feel like I either have no life or no work.

But at least I don't have to fly. I think I have reached the last straw on that, the airport experience is so unpleasant now.

I would like to live a life without so many guards in it.


Sometimes I think the whole world
Is one big prison yard.
Some of us are prisoners,
The rest of us are guards.

I normally manage, shower, suit, hair (blow dry and style) and full make up in 30 mins.
