Early morning

ByMike McBride Reading Time: 1 minute

Because of us leaving for Myrtle Beach right after work, and needing to get the monthly invoicing done before a meeting that managed to get moved to first thing in the morning, Angela dropped me off at the office early this morning. A full hour before I normally get here. (And I usually get here 15 minutes early to make sure I can grab a cup of coffee before the interruptions start.) I have to say that while I love getting as much sleep as I can in the mornings, I can see why some people would like this sort of schedule. I’ve already gotten a ton more stuff done than I would between 8:30-9:30 on a typical day, since there’s no one here to interrupt me.

 

I actually have time to blog this, and have a quiet cup of coffee before I have to run off to my meeting. Sweet!

    It’s been a pretty busy work morning, between figuring out why the backup didn’t run last night (turned out to be my fault, you really gotta be careful when you change the scripts to account for a schedule change so that you remember to change them back later! Go figure!) and helping correct some database…
