Your Morning Ritual

[Maki Riddington]

Everybody has a routine they go through each morning, what's yours? Is there something you can do without in the morning before work or school?

For me, it's getting up everyday at 6am for work and stopping off for a large strong cup of coffee and then reading the paper at work. Without the coffee I don't think I'd make it in the mornings.

[getfit]

i get up at 4 am and i need a huge cup a coffee can't do without it! then the day smiles at me! well most of the time

[Gyno Rhino]

Drug addicts.

That's what you both are.

Congrats.

I get a cup of coffee or a diet coke when I get to the office at about 8, sit down, and get to it. I'm most productive between 8 and 10 or so. After that, I'll read the paper and get online a bit.

[VasDeferens]

what about your breakfast? I am super hungry every morning.

8:00 AM - wake up, turn the stereo on. put some coffee to brew and hit the bathroom (teeth, ****, shower, shave etc).
8:30 AM - down a 800 cal shake, drink coffee and get online to check mails and news.
9:00 AM - iron my clothes
9:20 AM - leave for work and get another large coffee on the way.

[EdgarMex]

Times vary depending on what I have to do between leaving home and getting to work, but this is pretty much what happens every morning

*Wake up
*Go downstairs to the kitchen and down a caffeine pill
*Prep the meals for the day
*Take the daily morning dump
*Get dressed, grab the MP3 player and go for my morning walk
*Walk for about 1 hour
*Get back home and take a shower
*Take the second morning dump (yeah, my digestive system is very efficient)
*Get dressed for work
*Cook and eat breakfast with my dog (as soon as she hears the sound of the plate on the table she comes down to the kitchen and goes back up to lay on MY bed and soon as the plate is empty, same thing happens when I'm cooking chicken after I get out of bed)
*Go back upstairs, brush teeth and say hello and goodbye to my wife (she usually wakes up while I'm having breakfast and it takes her a good 15-20 minutes to "land")
*Leave for work

[-TIM-]

then...

That could be a dangerous, and messy, combination

[Hercule]

6:33- Shave/Wash Face
6:50- Cottage Cheese/Whey
7:00- Brush Teeth
7:05- Get Dressed
7:10- Fix Hair
7:25- Go to school

[Relentless]

5:00 alarm sounds; hit snooze and lie there half awake cursing my fate that I'm up so damn early

5:10 alarm sounds again; turn it off this time and slip out of bed.

5:10:05 trip over the goddamn cats, who are trying to get my attention not because they're HUNGRY but because they just want some fresh food in their bowl, the spoiled little ****s

5:11 morning visit to the porcelain throne, while questioning the sexual habits, ancestry, and moral turpitude of the cats, who continue to whore for attention by rolling around on the tile floor on the backs and rubbing against my feet while I'm trying to concentrate and take a decent crap

5:13 attempt to insert contact lenses; discover that the drool caked at the corner of my mouth is mirrored by eye phlegm thoroughly crusting both eyes. Clean eyes and re-attempt.

5:15 don a fluffy cotton robe ($29.95, President's Choice bathrobe, purchased at Zehrs if you can believe that, and are from Ontario and know what a Zehrs market is)

5:16 climb three flights of stairs to the bathroom and shower/shave... once again pray to God thanking whoever invented the awesome shower head I bought to replace the low-flo piece of donkey scrotum that used to be on the shower before I moved in and replaced it

5:18 think about having a quick wank in the shower but realize I'm too tired and I'm in a hurry to get out of the house anyway

5:20 brush teeth, moisturize (hey I'm getting old and my skin gets dry)

5:23 head downstairs to kitchen, throw container of irish oatmeal in the microwave to heat while I get dressed

5:24 get dressed, kiss soundly sleeping wife on temple

5:30 wolf down oatmeal with some flax caps and some bee pollen and a scoop of Nitrean, look longingly at the new juicer I got and realize that I don't have any ****ing time in the morning and how the hell am I supposed to juice anything before leaving for work

5:38 prepare to leave for the bus station, assembling all required gear/papers/etc. for the day

5:39 walk the 4 blocks to the bus station; an easy walk in fine weather but a pain in the ass in hot or cold weather; just long enough to work up a sweat or a chill

5:49 take a seat on the bus, try to swell up and look bulkier/fat so no one will want to sit beside me so I will have room to stretch/relax on the trip. It works but invariably some 40something career secretaries will sit next to/behind me and chat the whole goddam way to Toronto. Worse still, I'll get some stank-ass divorcee sitting near me that has doused herself liberally in some putrid perfume.

5:50 depart on bus for what I *hope* will only be a 90-minute ride to work...

5:51 begin to alternate between wishing I could fall asleep and hoping the bus would crash just so some of the tedious *******s on the bus would shut their mouths

[-TIM-]

Callahan, did you just say a 90 minute ride to work?!?!

[RussianRocket]

10am - 3pm : wake up, do something, stare out the window for a good hour at the people rushing off to school and work. Eat.

[Praetorian]

7.15 - turn on pc
7.20 - surf some sites

[BigCorey75]

[Teh BDK]

Ok lets see. Now that I have this new job...

10:00am- wake up to pre-rise alarm. Drop ECA with 16-32oz water.

11:00am- actually get out of bed.

11:02am- Take morning leak. Ahh, all hail the 90 second flow.

12:00pm- Breakfast. Varies.

1:00pm- Saturday Night Live on E.

2:00pm- Shower, shave(if I need it) and then fix food for rest of day.

2:45pm- Leave for Gym in Sacramento. Pray that its a 30 minute drive and not a 50 minute drive.

5:00pm- Go to work, soaking in photographic chemicals for hours on end and being accused of not knowing what I'm doing even though I have a degree in it. I've loaded HUNDREDS of sheets of 4x5 film and all of a sudden 4 consecutive sheets are ruined? **** you. THats never happened to me, not once. Something is wrong with your equipment, not your employee. Eat me.
