What is your daily routine/schedule like?
It won't be a shock to know I am a creature of habit. I wake up like most humans do in the morning unless you work nights then those human would be asleep. The times I work vary from week to week as well as the individual days of the week. Some days I get to sleep a little later, although never too late. Some days I have to wake up at 5 a.m. Other days I work later, but have to come in early the next morning. With such a variance in schedule it may seem odd that I try to be a creature of habit, although what I do is still routine. The times I do it in any given day may change. No matter how early I work I still get on the computer every morning.
I always bathe with cold water just like Davy Rocket, although never with Davy Rocket. After showering I get dressed, look at the computer again. Then shut down and take off. There is a table that I have everything I need for work. These items include a notepad, two bic pens, one blue and one black, my wallet, a calculator and a watch.
I also carry a clipboard with me, which is an odd choice, but I enjoy the clipboard. In fact everyone should be carrying a clipboard with paper of course. A clipboard ain't worth a damn without paper. I guess you could use it as a shield or weapon, but that is not the proper intent of the clipboard. It has a higher purpose then that. I have many things written on my clipboard. If I learn something new, it gets written in the clipboard.
The watch is the last to go on around my wrist. The watch is the symbol of work for me. When that goes on I am no longer happy go lucky Mike. I am work Mike. Is there much of a difference between the two Mes, no not really, although when I am work Me I bust my ass to be the best I can be. It is a tiring process and I know I could slow down, but I can't. People tell me to slow down, but I am not that guy. On the rare times I mess up, I hate that. Being human can suck in that way, but I suppose being a robot can suck as well, although I can't think of any reasons why that would suck at the moment.
After I finish working I come home. This is the moment when you really appreciate your home. I hope everyone feels that way about their home. Without that you would just go crazy or maybe, in my case, I should say crazier...lol.
Everything I put on for work gets taken off at the same table. The watch is the last thing to come off. When I start coming home from work I start to wind down, but the full sign I am no longer work me is when that watch comes off.
I would then go back on the computer. I come to this site and sometimes I write a blog like I am doing now. There are times when I am on the computer and just fall asleep in my chair. I have no memory of falling asleep or wanting to sleep. The only reason I know I fell asleep is that I wake up. It is amazing when you think about it. My body doesn't even tell my brain what's it doing.
Oh I also make time for my cat, Pumpkin. Outside of a clipboard everyone should have a pet.
I do make time for gaming when I can. I miss playing more, but I don't feel completely lost without it. Between gaming and talking with a dear friend of mine, I have chosen her every time.
Then after that I watch some tv, although I am usually on the computer while I watch tv, I go to bed. The time I go to bed is determined upon when I work the next day.
