I woke up early today and after failing to return to sleep I decided to get up and go to work.
It is 7.45am and I have been here an hour.
One hour without phone calls, people sticking their heads round the door and an MD with some ultra trivial task.
I have done half a day's work already!
Oh Joy!
It does mean I can work easy for the rest of the week!
(Good news too, there is a hell of a load of snow due tomorrow, so I may do a 'Work From Hammock' day.

I live a three-minute walk from the office, so I always get here an hour before anyone else, and people wonder how I manage to be so productive.
I've thought of suggesting staggering working hours/days, because the fewer the people who are present, the more work you get done.
I wanna be a eunuchs developer! Pass me a bread knife!

Good Idea.
So long as there is a core time when all parties are present then flexi-time arrangements make sense.

Only if I put the effort in!
But I do have to be here to superintend.

Sounds like every day for me. I usually work 6:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m., alloting 2 hours for my lunchtime run/workout. That stretch from 6:00 to around 8:30 is as productive as the rest of the entire day. No walk-ins, no phone calls, little e-mail after dealing with the overnight batch, and the coffee is freely flowing.

I work four days a week doing 9 am to 7 pm.
1. Four 10-hour days are much better than five 8-hour days.
2. In am in the US at the moment and they all seem to LOVE coming in at 7 am or 8 am at the latest so they can leave at 3 or 4 pm.
3. It gets very quiet around 3-4 pm so I get 3-4 really productive hours in wonderful peace and quiet!
4. One of my days is a Sunday and so I can take Tuesday & Wednesday off as a mid-week weekend. Sunday is a whole day of peace and quiet - I get about twice as much done on Sunday as on any other day as nobody at all is in for the whole day (usually).
5. I miss most of the traffic rush hours in the morning and evening because of my later hours.
- Life in the fast lane is only fun if you live in a country with no speed limits.
- Of all the things I have lost, it is my mind that I miss the most.
- I vaguely remember having a good memory...
