    would anyone like to share their first 30 mins at the office? I basically get in about 20 to 30 mins early and spend all that time checking my emails and reading the news. The next 15 mins or so goes in planning out the next 8 hrs of the day. Yesterday I arrived a little late (according to my time)...so I lost that 20-30 mins...since this was very rare I was wondering if I should have started the same way (as usual) or is it unethical etc. since I was late. Regards, SRT

    Coffee!! ;-) My workmates and I tend to get pretty busy throughout the day, so we will tend to just talk with eachother informally over coffee for that first 15 minutes or so. It's a nice way to start the day.

          :bob: Arrive at work. :bob: Go to office, turn on monitor. (On Mondays, turn on the whole machine - I usually turn it off on the weekends but leave it running every other day.) :bob: Check e-mail, delete all spam. Make sure nobody has called an imminent morning meeting. :bob: Listen to any voice mails I may have received. :bob: Go to CodeProject, check the Lounge and, if applicable, the weekly poll and comments. :bob: Take my empty water cup to the water fountain, fill up. :bob: Scour the halls for doughnuts or other goodies anyone might have brought. (optional) Then, and only then, do I feel justified in starting to do any real work. :-D "Fish and guests stink in three days." - Benjamin Franlkin

              Whether its just me, but this usually takes at least 45minutes.

              • Log on to my network
              • Open Outlook and check my emails/spam.
              • Open IE/CrazyBrowser and bring up CodeProject, Dilbert.com

                      I read whatever mail I get overnight, then read the Lounge, then check the SoapBox, and sometimes, to get the brain started, I do the technical forums as well. Then I move onto a local forum, and then I begin work. I do this regardless of what time I arrive at work, be it 06:30 or 10:30.
