I tried to turn over a new leaf this morning. So I got up very early.

I took a shower, even had breakfast quickly, and was out of the house by 20 past 7.

I was confronted by a wall of traffic - and I mean a fucking WALL - about halfway there. That good ol' turn onto the Chandler Highway...what the fuck is with that goddamned road? A series of twists and turns lengthened my journey by only 5 or so minutes, but my god it put me in a foul mood.

I got to work at 8.

And since then I've been sitting here, brain dead at my computer, staring blearily at the screen and sipping (and grimacing) at the worst coffee I've had in a long time.

I don't think this early morning crap is for me.

As you all know, I've been performing Operation: Get In Early recently. I did hit a snag with this yesterday, and almost did today as well. However, apart from those little hiccups, it has gone relatively smoothly. I just need to start winding back my clock so I actually get to bed at a decent hour, to ensure that when I wake up before the sun's arisen I actually a) get out of bed rather than hitting "snooze"; and b) that I don't feel/look like this.

However, I am remembering what made public transport so shit, as [livejournal.com profile] vivienne_aster alluded to.

a) If you miss your good earlier train with few people on it, you end up sharing your personal space with other people's morning faces, not to mention their smelly armpits.

b) On that note, you sometimes run into *GAH* schoolchildren. On the outbound journey, my carriage was set upon by obnoxious, loud, freaking irritating teenagers. I overheard one sweet lass manage to fit the expression "like, oh-my-god" into her speech three times before she took a breath. I was jostled by oversized backpacks. I saw what passes for "fashionable haricuts" these days. Fucking hell, I hate emos. If the power of a screeching giggle is ever harnessed and used in the electrical grid, I could have collected enough in that 15 minute trip to power Australia for the next few generations.

This is a good reason for getting a vasectomy. If I ever spawn something like this, I'll drown myself in a bucket.

However, on a good note, I have been much more productive today. See? There's always a non-rant.

Operation: Get In Early is off to a flying start. This morning, the alarm went off at 6.45 am. I only pressed snooze once. I didn't manage to get out of the house before 7.30 am, but I did get to work at 8.30 am. I even managed to not fume at the morons who somehow obtained a license. No, I did not manage to avoid them: seems like it's a 'round the clock thing for Fucktards On Roads. Tomorrow I should try for even earlier time.

And yes, I know people that are reading this who get up earlier than this on a regular basis are probably incredulous. Shut up. I'm not used to these early-morning shenanigans.

Now that I'm here though...I should clean up my desk. It's an absolute mess. Empty packets of...well, I suppose you'd call it food. Paper everywhere. I don't even know what half of it is. I'm probably going to get pulled up by the Neat Police soon. So I should do something about it.

...

Nah. I'll just snooze for a while on the keyboard.
