I look at the clock on my computer. It’s only 8:00 AM. It’s going to be a long day. I am super glad that it’s Friday, but if I am already counting the minutes this early, that’s not good. I take a sip of coffee and hope that the caffeine gets me going some. I read a few quick emails and then check msnbc.com for the latest news and gossip. I am annoyed that all the gossip sites are talking about is the Kim Kardashian divorce so I close my browser.
I check the calendar to make sure there are no meetings that I have to be ready for today. Meetings on Fridays are no fun at all. I am relieved to see that my schedule is clear for the day.
My friend and I then discuss the latest candidate for our list of celebrities that can just go away (see Kim K above).
I decide to head for more coffee. When I return to my desk, I pull up my latest buy and decide it’s time to get to work and buy some parts. Maybe that will make the day go faster.
8 AM is an evil time to have to be working. Just sayin’.
Great job with the prompt–I like how you start your workday.

Thank you! And yes, 8 AM IS an evil time to be working!!!
Wow, working at 8am is unfathomable for me. I’m not even awake that early. Great post.

I rarely sleep past 8 even when I don’t have to work! Guess I am just used to it by now.
I haven’t been to work at 8am for a couple of years… but this took me right back to it! Those first few tasks, first few chats with co-workers before the day really begins. I hope you don’t have any meetings today!
I am sure most people that start out their day in the office this early probably do it much the same. Thanks for stopping by!
I used to start my workday at 8 am – this really brought me back!
Starting that early is oh so fun!! Not!! lol
ahhhh gotta love the early start to a loooong work day.

Yes, sometimes those days seem to drag and drag and drag!!
Ah yes, the Friday grind. And I agree, meetings on Fridays are the worst! I hope your gay goes quickly!!

Meetings on Fridays are EVIL!!!
Ugh. Fridays. I agree, plowing through the tasks makes it go by faster.
It does make it go faster, but sometimes, you just don’t wanna!! lol
So very relatable- grinding through our work, distracted by our computers, and craving some coffee (and lots of it!)!
