Barb’s Burblings

I was going through all entries of this blog when I ran into an entry from 2005 in which I mentioned that my workday normally started at 7:30. This was particularly appropriate today, because I had to get into the office at 7:30, and spent a LOT of time complaining about it. At some point in the past 5 years, I’ve gotten SUPER lazy. After that job with hours starting at 7:30, I had a job in which I worked, I think, 8 to 4:30. But that job was downtown, so I was probably catching a bus a bit before 7. Which meant I was getting up at 6 or 6:15. This is unfathomable to me at this point in my life, which sees me getting to work anytime between 8:30 and 9:30. Of course, I’m leaving work later, but that’s OK. (Particularly on nights when I go downtown for a show or book club, and don’t have to be there until 6:30 or 7 anyway.)

Really, I can’t imagine getting myself back to that point. I’m sure I could; I didn’t have THAT hard of a time with it this morning. Honestly, my alarm goes off at 7:15 nowadays and I mutter “Blergh” at it and hope it goes away. I’m just going to say that it’s because people in my office tend to work a later schedule, and blame it on that. Peer pressure!
