    roll out of bed at 8:00am, put the kettle on and have a shower.

    drink coffee while reading the news online.

    leave house at 9:00am and walk 20 minutes up the hill to work.

    I walk over the road.

    This is a longer commute than I've had in past, when I only had to walk down the stairs!

    I work from homes.

    Up at 4:30am. 30 minute jog, start coffee pot upon return then take quick shower while it brews. Fix a bowl of oatmeal/grits or toast & jam with my morning coffee while checking email etc... Brush me teeth, get on the uniform and drive 22 country miles to work at 6am. I consider it a good day at work when we all leave at the end of our shift upright & breathing, all the cons accounted for, our sanity mostly intact.

    I'm a morning person and get up at the crack of dawn most every morning. 6am is sleeping in for me.

    Drag my out of bed at 6am. Blergh. The only thing that keeps me from being a homicidal maniac at 6am is my cute dog wagging his tail because he knows it's time for breakfast. Out the door a by a little after 7ish. Get to work around 8. I take public transportation so at least I get to read or do a crossword puzzle. By DC standards, my commute isn't bad, but that isn't saying much. I know some people who have a 1.5 - 2 hour commute each way. If I had to drive to work in DC traffic, I'd be in a padded cell somewhere.

    About 5 minutes from my fraternity house to the dining hall for breakfast which can take an hour if I want. Then about a 3 minute walk to the building where my class takes place.

    Wake up at 8:00 and 40 minutes on the bus for me. Got a bus stop about 2 minutes walking distance from my front door, so it's pretty convenient. Usually spend the time running through lesson plans or translating Old English.
