Early Mornings....

It's 5am and my iPhone starting ringing.......It's work.... 3 Channels are down and at 6 we need to switch over feeds.... FCK! The guy in master control says he has content he can put in place until I get there, maybe even enough till 9am.... I said great, hung up the phone and went back to sleep. Unfortunately I wasn't able to go back to sleep... I tossed and turned for bit and then decided to get up and go to work early COUGH! COUGH! early? I normally don't walk into work til 10 am and its 5:30 now.....

So you ask "Sashmo, why the long intro?, Who cares, I'm having my morning coffee and don't wana hear your complaints about waking up early" Well...... Lets look at this early morning thing...

First of all, I have never been a morning person. NEVER. My dad to this day still makes fun of how much I can sleep. I mean, really, I like to sleep. But today was different.

I don't know if its my age or my health, but lately, when I wake up, I can't go back to sleep anymore. Some people would say its your age. Some people would say that its stress. I don't know. All I can say is, it felt good to wake up early today. In fact, I was excited to come and solve problems (Given that I am probably ONE of the 2% of the population that LIKES his job).

So you ask again "Sashmo, GET TO THE FCKN' POINT ALREADY"..... OK OK.... Don't get to hostile. (Hostile, Dogggy Style, I do em all) The reminds me of my dad and the first time I heard him tell a dirty joke. "BACK TO THE POINT!" OK OK sorry...

I think I know why I look so forward to coming to work early. After some deep analysis, I realized why it felt so good pre and post drive in to work.

• Still dark. I hate driving into work and have that sun blinding me (you know, that bright sun that seems to blind you, no matter what type of designer sun glasses you have on?) So it was nice to drive in while it was still dark.
• NO TRAFFIC, yeah I can't stress that enough. Yes I even coming into work at 10am I still have traffic and construction, so it was a nice feeling to not have to worry about the stop and go.
• Nobody in the office yet. Excluding the guy in master control. There is nobody at work. I don't have to do my usual routine saying "HI!" to everyone.

After going through this short list I realized something. Early risers are anxiety filled introverts. Yes I said it. It never felt so good to avoid everything, i.e. traffic, stress, socializing. People who wake up early are not doing it to get a good start on the day, they are doing it because the want to avoid all the other bullsh!t that comes with each day. Given that you actually get some work done too. That could be another thing, but I think thats the plus side of it. Look at how long my post is? I've never had this much time to rant on a post. hahahaha.......

Well have a great day you early risers and I look forward to see you every day ;)
