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.
Ideally, morning people come in early and do their solo stuff; then evening people come in and the joint knowledge gets shared; then the morning people go home and the evening people do their solo stuff and write up any discoveries for tomorrow’s morning people…
This works so well for anything but literal machine shifts! For a while I worked in a huge company that allowed this and because of international offices we were working literally around the clock.
Hi!
Best work done 1330-1700.
I like splatting little problems in the mornings - checking up on things - and then once lunched, having a good unobstructed block of time where I can do that voodoo that I do.
but then I'm weird that way.
This is why I like being several timezones east of my compatriots...
