Ok

So what gives at this dreadful hour of the morning?

Me, after pluging in the laptop, making a mug of coffee, deleting spam emails after I read them, and kicking off the forums, I have a good 30 minutes of non productive time left before I pull anything out that even resembles work!

I'm at work now, been here since about 7am. I usually have a browser open with FFAU on it all day.

I dont have anything that resembles work to pull out.

Yup and use a fair chunk of the Dept's bandwidth for downloading car videos. I just have to hide it from the boss and the IT guys.

My morning routine is feed the kids, send them off to get dressed and then have a morning surf of the forums with my coffee before getting ready and heading off to work. Then I repeat the process...coffee...forums... ponder the work ahead and how to minimise it. Being Friday pondering can take an hour or 2 as well

7.40am, I was making school lunches, making sure the kids had brushed their teeth, doing weird things with hair-ties to make a ponytail? (that's a struggle!)

I'm on holidays, but with kids I haven't got the time to log on till about 9am. after I've got the washing on, dishes done etc... and that's because I'm on holidays, now!

Actually, if I was at work... I don't think I'd have time to log on, unless I was on night or graveyard shift.
