No way, Jose. I work 10:30-7:30. At 8AM, I'm not even awake yet, much less at work.

But be careful what you wish for: getting out at 7:30PM often mucks with dinner plans.

haha, you said stimulated. i'm in serious need of stimulation as well.

it's better get work out of the way ASAP.

i like starting around 9.30 or 10.

8am is early for me too..but i have to go at 8am so I can find a parking space...if i get there at 8:01am, no spot left and have to park on the street and my car will get tons of scratches like there's no tomorrow

i get to complain like all of you once the 12th of january starts b/c i'll be working at 8:30am til 4:30pm every weekday. I'm not used to the corporate culture. so, people better watch out. =) Not to mention i'm taking two- 3 hr evening classes monday and tuesday (at two different universities), and taking an exam for individual crisis certification.

you'll be quite busy. and frazzled. hopefully you won't be calling your own hotlines as a result of it.
