    what times do you start working?

    As I'm typing this it's little past 7 am, in 15 minutes I'll be at work. I fucking hate these early hours despite feeling happy for having 2 jobs in these times. I hear in corporate America 5 am meetings are no exception.

    What time do you start working? are you a morning person?

    I start work typically at 8:30. But I can start work as early as 6:15 (up at 4:30) or as late as 22:30. I prefer the 6:15 shift over 14:30 though. That drags on and ruins my day. My ideal start time is 10am, but thats not gonna happen.

    Whenever I want.

    I get up around 11am and after breakfast and a walk I work out when I should get around to doing something.

    I usually start work 2 hours after whatever time they call me normally but as of late I've been holding a third shift job 10:30p-6:30a. Considering I never have to deal with traffic going to or leaving work - It's pretty spectacular.

    I've never heard of 5am meetings in "corporate America." But in my actual America, I just got home from work about 30 minutes ago. That would be 1am. I'll be up again by 6-7am and working. That's pretty much my usual. I don't work constantly for that entire time, but there are things that need to get done.

    Let's all ride the Gish gallop.

    A third job, wth!?

    I start between 07:45-09:45. I prefer starting early as i get off work earlier in the day.

    When i worked shifts it was either 06:00-14, 14:00-22:00 or 22:00-06:00 with irregular schedule, like work 3 days, free 1 day etc. I do think i prefer the normal daytime mon-fri over that.
    Best i had was work 6-7 days, free for 4-5 days. About same work hours as the other shift.

    I start at 7am. I wake up at 5:30 am to eat breakfast and get ready. I am definitely a morning person. Don't know midday or late night shifts.

    Between 7 and 8 am, load the truck for the first jobs, then leave and drive to them. I finish when I have all my calls done

    Either 7am or 7pm (depending on if it's a day-shift or night-shift). I have to get up at around 4am to walk to the bus terminal on my day-shifts because the buses don't start to run by my house early enough for me to get to work on time

    Our normal office hours are 9-5:30. I tend to start at 10:30, leave at 6 to 6:30 most days, and make up the missing hours on one long day.

    Sometime between 7.30am and 10am depending on when I feel like going to the office. Can go in both earlier and later than that too though, it's pretty flexible as long as I make the daily scrum meeting.
