      5.45am and a 2 hour commute every day.

      Except when working from home, only a 2 second commute

        feel your pain buddie

        recently was doing a 2 hr commute to london, up at 5:45 outta the door 6:30, in the office 8:30 (good day) leave office 5:00/5:30

        back home around 7:30 / 8:00

        had a 6 week old when i started the contract so 12 months i couldn't get a complete nights sleep either

        oh the joys of contracting

        BUT

        new contract is 6 miles down the road, in the office for 8:00 back home for 4:30

        there is always light at the end of the tunnel

        TIP: for staying awake bit of drum and bass every load in the car, wakes you up in the morning and keeps you alert in the evenings

          How did this happen? Who's to blame? Well certainly there are those more responsible than others, and they will be held accountable, but again truth be told, if you're looking for the guilty, you need only look into a mirror.

            On Modays I have every thing ready in the spare room so I don't disturb anyone, the cars already packed I just get up shower and get dressed. I have breakfast when I get to Swindon.

            The rest of the week I only have a 15 min commute, so I factor in some 'dither' time
            I'm sorry, but I'll make no apologies for this

              I generally aim to get up no earlier than 8am
              I am NOT an early morning person. Only caveat to that is when there is a large volume of high pressure work to get on with which generally helps me focus.

              I spent three years trying to get up early and in the office between 8 and 8.30am. But it was clearly not working, I just can't get to sleep early enough and end up wasting most of the morning then still working late to catch up on what I should have done in the morning, getting home still feeling tired and then feeling wide awake an hour before I should be going to bed!

                Monday 4am, leave home at 4:30 at my desk at 6:45 - Brekkie is for wimps.

                At my desk at 6:45 most work days.

                  When my morning glory has retreated back to where it came from
                  Brexit is having a wee in the middle of the room at a house party because nobody is talking to you, and then complaining about the smell.

                    ah yes. The 'Blue vein thrombosis'

                    took my missus years to come to understand what I meant when I say 'I cant get up'

                    no one wants to see THAT monster being waved around the bedroom at 6 in the morning

                      Good organisation and plenty of vitamins for us early risers.
                      I dare not ask about your early morning vitamins
