Morning denizens

Having contemplated my various journeys to ClientCorp, it's become obvious that leaving any time between 7:40 and 8:10 results in me arriving at the same time, to within a couple of minutes. Leaving early just means encountering a queue of traffic further out in the countryside.

So I'm not going to bother leaving earlier than 8:00 unless it's something like 7:20, when there's a chance of it actually making a difference

I was having this conversation onsite yesterday, a large contingent of people got in at 7:00, the logic is if you are in a hotel why not just come in early, my argument was if I am in a hotel I pick one as close to the site as possible to have as long in bed as possible meaning I am working as late as possible so not stuck in a hotel as long as possible on an evening, but I guess its different if you are not staying over

Yes, "staying over" is key. If I'm away from home, I'd sooner have a lie in and work until 7 or even 8 in the evening, then head off for a bite to eat and a quiet evening in the pub, finally getting back to the hotel in time to listen to the Shipping Forecast before doing it all over again.

The Holy Grail is when extra time in the evening allows for a late arrival on Monday and early departure on Friday
