Personally, Gramps, I am ready to get back to 8 hour plus work days.  The holidays were fun and all, but now its time to get down to serious business.  No, 11 hour days are not extraordinarily long.  Remember, I work 6-5 at Dell in OKC for 4 months from the beginning October 2011 to beginning February 2012.  I also worked 8-7 shortly after I got hired on permanent.  I have no doubt I will be able to handle it.  8 hours sleep is not an enormous amount of sleep and is really only a half hour to an hour more than what I get on most work nights anyway.  I'm not dreading the 11 hour days, at all, in fact I'm looking forward to them.  It will be extremely busy both days (Wednesday busier than Thursday) so the time will go by really fast.  Next week, I'll work some overtime, as well.  Monday is supposed to be another busy day, so I'll probably work 6-4 Monday-Thursday and work the normal 6:00-2:30 on Friday.  That would give me 6 hours overtime, the equivalent of 9 normal hours.  That is an extra $100 on my paycheck.  If I can do that both weeks, that's an extra $200.

Employers don't like when you come in that early. You make yourself a liability if anything happens and you could also try and claim you were working and deserve pay. So they're not going to be happy when you show up tomorrow.

They know we have slow systems and it takes time to get all our systems up and running.  Plus, getting a brand new desk might take some time, as well.  40 minutes early is not extremely early by any stretch of the imagination.

So you don't normally come in earlier than 15 minutes early?

15-20 minutes early 4 days a week.  Its the slowest when I shut the computer down over night, and I do that every Friday night.  So, Monday mornings I would normally go in 30 minutes early, and the next 4 days maybe 20 minutes early.

So, it changed from 15 minutes to 15-20 minutes to 30 minutes on Mondays and 20 minutes on every other day.  So the 15 minutes was a lie?

No, because occasionally I get there 10 minutes early.  It averages out to 15 minutes.

It really takes your computer 30 minutes to start up after shut down over the weekend?  How on earth could you use it to provide tech support if it's that slow?

I know only one other person who gets to work 40 minutes early, and she drives us all nuts...

How so? Where do you work?

She's overly obsessive, orders way too much product in order to not run out (and I mean WAY too much), posts on Facebook about how hard she works, when she really doesn't work that hard, and tends to complain a lot.  She also gets there insanely early and none of us understand why.

Sounds like Bushie. What is your field?

Part of that 30 is spent going to the restroom and getting a Diet Dr. Pepper first thing to lubricate my throat.  So, maybe 20 minutes is spent getting the computer ready on Monday's, and about 5-8 minutes is spent the rest of the week.

You might want to re-think your terminology there....

It takes you 10 minutes to pee and get a pop?  Pee at home and bring a drink from home... it'd save money.

Hey, I've got a routine and it works.  There is a saying "If it ain't broke, don't fix it!".  My routine isn't broken, so there's no need to fix it!

Also, my dear friend, aren't you trying to lose weight? Why the hell would you have a soda/"pop" in the morning? Come on. And don't you dare give me the "It's a Diet Dr. Pepper" nonsense.

Diet Dr. Pepper has no calories, so its not costing me anything in terms of calories.  Diet soda was a big catalyst to my big weight loss in November 2011.

Its not health food, but it is better than regular, calorie-laden pop.  Plus, just because I'm on a diet doesn't mean I should totally shun pop.  I refuse to drink only water.  I need to increase my water intake, but I refuse to switch totally to water.

I'm modifying my sleep time tonight.  Instead of going to bed at 8:00 pm, I'll go to bed at 10:00 pm and wake up at 4:30 am.  I want to wait until the House votes and passes this ugly bill.

The doors at my workplace aren't even unlocked (which is done automatically of course) until 30 minutes before opening. So if someone showed up 40 minutes early, they wouldn't even be able to get their badge to open the door. And of course they would be considered rather suspicious as well.

And if someone at my work started showing up 40 minutes early unless they had a valid excuse (carpool starts earlier, something like that), everyone would think they were insane.

400 pages of threads begs to differ with your premise.

Jeff, I was one of the worst with pop, but I've been pop-free since June.  I had switched to lemonade, but then with exams, I didn't go out and get more - I just stayed in and studied, and I've been drinking water for the past month+ (plus, the medication I'm on makes me thirsty, so I've been drinking a lot of water).
