I really wish corporations/society were more understanding that you cannot make someone into a "morning person".

"We want you here first thing in the morning!"

No, you don't. I'll be grumpy, mean, slow, and disinterested in the aesthetics you want me to reinforce.

I'm a programmer, not a barista. Either you don't need me at 6 AM, or you need to pay me overtime because if you NEED me something is very wrong.

@TheZeldaZone Oof. I am retired and still pop out of bed by 7 am at the latest.

But I am no good at coding until I've spent at least 30 minutes faffing around on slashdot (and Mastodon..)

@lemgandi @TheZeldaZone If I'm not on Trazadone I won't sleep past 5:30...tops. I also don't go to bed until like midnight earliest.

It also doesn't matter what time you rouse me, or if I'm already aroused, you're getting the grump version. My coding abilities also remain unchanged.
