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 For some reason, and I think it is mainly due to capitalism wanting to set working times, there's a shaming of afternoon/evening people. I recall the old saying: 'Early to bed and early to rise makes a man healthy, wealthy and wise'. It doesn't. I am not particularly a morning or evening person - I can do early morning if I have to, I can do late nights if I have to. But I work best between 8 am and 5 pm. There's also a lauding of people who need less sleep (Churchill, Thatcher).
