@Collin1000 If it’s before 8:00, it’s too early. Really, I don’t like waking up before 11, or sometimes 1 or 3 in the afternoon, but sometimes in life, you have to make concessions.
@Collin1000 I’m up by 5:30 every morning.
Since retiring, I try to sleep till 6AM. It’s pretty rare when that happens.
ps… My wife gets up before I do usually…
@f00l
/8ball I need an answer that’s definitive and unequivocal and absolute. Should Morning Persons be forcibly and legally segregated so that they are stuck tormenting each other? It is certain
When I was a child, I had an alarm clock that sounded like that. One morning, I destroyed it. I swore to never use an effective or loud alarm again. That decision has served me well.
@IWUJackson to me, a morning person is someone that is cheerful and doesn’t take forever to wake up in the morning.
I love to lay in bed in the morning for at least 30 minutes before I move. Sometimes an hour. If I have to show up at work before 6… It’s rare that I’m awake enough to eat before I leave the house. I’m easily confused and sometimes walk my house several times because I’ll forget to grab something on the other side when I’m getting ready, or I’ll get in my car and realize I forgot my water bottle.
@elimanningface Lol. Nope, not Alaskan. Did visit, it was beautiful! I would have liked more snow than we’ve had this winter (only one above 1", the other 5 or so don’t count as “real” snow since it doesn’t cover the ground) but not sure I could handle snows measured in the feet… though Ketchikan was interesting!
@RiotDemon In the summer, the sun rises around 6, and I’m usually up by 6:30 at the latest (trees to the east slightly delay the light)
As long as it’s light, I’m good. When I’m getting up at 6:45 and the sun won’t rise for 2 more hours… it’s 2 hours until I’m awake. Then I do the same kinds of crap. I did drive to work one dark winter day without pants. Fortunately realized it before I got out of the car and went into work… so I called in sick from the parking lot.
If you woke up around 9am on what the public consensus definition of Sunday morning is, you might be in not great shape around now.
If you woke up about 9am of my preferred student definition of Sunday morning (correlates strongly with a public consensus Tuesday morning around 11am-1pm), then you’re doing ok.
@f00l sunday. I’m definitely tired. Problem is I wasn’t done with everything I had to do by start of day monday until 6:40 am. Have lots to do tomorrow, so I didn’t wana sleep at that point because then I wouldn’t be able to sleep tonight.
I am generally a morning person, even though I work evenings ( I just got in from work a few minutes ago)… I like to get up, grab a cup of coffee and check out the newspaper (remember those… I’m that guy that still has one thrown in his yard each day… IF the carrier isn’t too hungover to get out and do his job…)
That noise shall haunt me as the alarm from the Rogue One Trailer did…
All that makeup and perfectly white sheets.
/giphy not buying it
Still not sure what a “morning person” is.
That sounds like an oxymoron.
I once took a swing at my grandma when she tried to wake me up when I was a kid. Not a morning person. Probably not a nice person.
@huja why are people ‘liking’ violence on grandmas? Is this now OK? Social norms don’t come naturally to me so I was hoping someone could clarify.
@elimanningface I was about two or three years old. It was the act of a bratty toddler, not a thuggish teenager.
6:45 is a morning person?! I wake up at 5:20 :(((((((((((
our scriptwriter was handcuffed by whoever set the clock onscreen in the stock footage
@matthew
So that wasn’t filmed by a Mediocre employee? Phew. Otherwise Kelly from HR would have had a fit.

@InnocuousFarmer
Are you me? Because I thought I was @Ignorant.
@PlacidPenguin I don’t follow. Just… let me grab some coffee…

I enjoy staying up to see the sun rise.
But I despise getting up to see the sun rise.
@2many2no A good day ends with watching the sunrise. A bad day starts with watching the sunrise.
@2many2no what you just posted would have been a great away message to use back in the heyday of AOL Instant Messenger.
Morning Persons should be forcibly segregated from the rest of us.
Concentrate and ask again
/8ball is this true?
@f00l
Outlook good
/8ball I’m concentrating here.
@f00l
It is certain
/8ball I need an answer that’s definitive and unequivocal and absolute. Should Morning Persons be forcibly and legally segregated so that they are stuck tormenting each other?
@f00l
/8ball Should we move all of the oxymoronic ‘morning people’ to the house of the f00l?
Yes
When I was a child, I had an alarm clock that sounded like that. One morning, I destroyed it. I swore to never use an effective or loud alarm again. That decision has served me well.
My alarm is the sun… except in the winter, then it’s the local annoying morning show…
Does that make me a morning person?

I’m definitely not a morning person.
@IWUJackson not sure but it definitely doesn’t make you an Alaska resident or maybe you are and just have a crazy unique work schedule.

I haven’t slept since I woke up Sunday morning. Does that count?
@PantHeist
Depends. What is your personal definition of “Sunday Morning”?
@f00l 9am-ish
@PantHeist
Which day?
If you woke up around 9am on what the public consensus definition of Sunday morning is, you might be in not great shape around now.
If you woke up about 9am of my preferred student definition of Sunday morning (correlates strongly with a public consensus Tuesday morning around 11am-1pm), then you’re doing ok.

@PantHeist
My sympathies
@f00l haha thanks
Clocky would never survive in this house. Mornings start around 8:30 here.
