canyonwalker: Sullivan, a male golden eagle at UC Davis Raptor Center (Golden Eagle)

I've been getting up early this week. It's for work. I recently moved onto a project led by people in the UK and on the US east coast. Daily meetings scheduled to accommodate everyone— or at least almost everyone—have been at 7am local time. And one was at 6:30am.

People often talk about whether they're Early Birds or Night Owls. Often it's said that a person is naturally one or the other. I don't think I'm intrinsically on one team or the other. I can switch when I need to. ...Not to say that it's always easy to switch. When I've gotten accustomed to going to bed later, on more of a night-owl schedule, suddenly having to get up at 6 the next morning, or 5 or even 4am 😰, means getting too little sleep and being groggy. But I can adapt to it as a regular thing after a few days.

Thus I haven't been too bothered about starting my workdays early this week. I've simply shifted to going to bed a bit earlier to make up for it. And it's easy to get to bed at 9:30pm after getting up at 6am a few days in a row. The one thing that did bother me this week was when the project leader moved one of the 7am meetings to 6:15am... by sending an email at 6am. 😡 Yeah, no. If you're going to move a meeting that's at the start of my workday, you're going to have to let me know by COB the day before.
