shadows Posted August 20, 2005 Posted August 20, 2005 Breathe? Open my eyes? Yell at the annoying voice coming from the door and giving me long lists of things I need to do that day? First voluntary and non-reflexive action (well, it's debatable) is I turn over, grab my computer case, open it, take out my computer and hit my bookmarks? Addicted? Hell yes! I love it. //shadows
JamesSavik Posted August 20, 2005 Posted August 20, 2005 Feed the cat cause there's no peace while he's hungry! Sometimes I wonder if he's really a cat or a fuzzy pig.
lagomorph Posted August 20, 2005 Posted August 20, 2005 I curse the Yellow Face for coming through the window and waking me up. I could sleep all day if it wasn't for the sun. Actually, I have to take a shower right away. It's the only thing that really makes me alert, since my stomach can't handle coffee. Val
RTJ Posted August 20, 2005 Posted August 20, 2005 First thing I usually do is fall out of bed, and stumble bleary eyed into the shower.
reapersharvest Posted August 20, 2005 Posted August 20, 2005 I learn to hate "Keep Fishing" by Weezer (my alarm) just a bit more, push the dog off me who is inevitab;y chewing on my nose by now, and caffeinate myself as quickly as possible.
Kay_Derwydd Posted August 20, 2005 Posted August 20, 2005 Hmm, gather clothes for my kids, then go get them out of bed. Once they're up and terrorizing the house, I get on the comp and start working, whether it's forum admin stuff or writing. ~Kay
Coming Undone Posted August 20, 2005 Posted August 20, 2005 Coffee , lots and lots of coffee!!! I'm puttin a "Starbucks" in my living room.
Chris Posted August 20, 2005 Posted August 20, 2005 Well since I work nights, I kinda so things in reverse. First thing in the morning I go to sleep! If you mean first thing after I wake up, it's Brush my teeth, shower and drink coffee C
boy on a string Posted August 21, 2005 Posted August 21, 2005 I roll over and think, is it time to get up already ... then lay in bed for a while ... Boy on a String
Aleric Posted August 21, 2005 Posted August 21, 2005 First thing I do when I wake up at 1 pm because the neighbors are hammering or playing booming music, is curse them and turn on the radio next to my bed with static noise, so loud that it makes it easy to concentrate on that instead. I also turn on a ventilator that makes contact with my bed, making it rumble, so that I only hear that when I press my ear in the pillow. When I wake up around 4 pm, it's time to get out of bed, and the first thing I do sit behind PC, often even before opening the curtains-- check if I'm still connected to IRC and whether or not anything was said during the 'night' that concerned me, read email... etc. Breakfast comes much later, like 7 pm.

Mark Arbour Posted August 22, 2005 Posted August 22, 2005 I jump in the shower. When I was younger, the first thing I did was.... nevermind. Now I just get in the shower.
DomLuka Posted August 22, 2005 Posted August 22, 2005 I jump in the shower. When I was younger, the first thing I did was.... nevermind. Now I just get in the shower. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> *e'hem*... isn't that what the shower is for?
DomLuka Posted August 22, 2005 Posted August 22, 2005 It lasts exactly 10 minutes according to the timer... but who says I'm finished before I go turn it off again? Hmm, I'd like to see what Snow Dog comes up with. Just remember, it was Mark who volunteered your expertise.) Dom the smart ass.

Usually I don't offer to share his expertise. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> No, you usually charge for it Now, as to Mr. Luka, based on the basic story, the time from pre-shower to toothbrushing is 20 min. If we assume 1 min. for shower warmup, and 2 min out of shower to toothbrushing. We have 17 minutes for 'shower' and 'personal' activities. Unfortunately, without knowing Dom's particular shower habits, i.e. number of times he shampoos, if he uses conditioner, his particular washing pattern, soap use, potential fastideousness in cleaning the shower prior to exiting. There are just too many variables, including potential excretory functions, to be able to accoount for any of that 17 minutes. I think the variables of the situation will require extensive experimental observation of Dom's morning habbits. Of course, I may need several volunteer observers to assure that a full and complete observational record is made. Perhaps video taping would be required. A full and complete report will be published on GA for any interested party, including all appropriate photo and video tape documentation. Snow Dog, Ph.D.
Guest fayevalentine Posted August 23, 2005 Posted August 23, 2005 Well, since for the time being I am blissfully unemployed (until I run out of $$$), the first thing I do is slip on yesterday's jeans, stumble upstairs, start my pc, grab a coke, turn on my music, and check my forums and usually log on to msnm, for a few hours, usually until noon.
Noikris Posted August 24, 2005 Posted August 24, 2005 I usually jump to a quick (on my scale atleast ) shower and after that turn off the music (which is always on at night) and leave for school. If I'm early, I might have time to crab something to eat on the way out.
BoyNeedsTherapy Posted August 24, 2005 Posted August 24, 2005 Hmm, well normally when seb's working and I'm a student, I'm woken up by seb crushing me by reaching over to turn of the alarm I generally mumble 'Itssss tooo early!' then roll over and try and bury my head into his chest and convince him that we should stay in bed. However since I'm now the one at work, well he still leans over me to turn of the alarm cos it annoys him, but then when I move to get out of bed he's the one snuggling. Of course if I wake up alone the first thing I do is mentally check I have all my limbs, and know what my name is hehe.
Kel Posted August 25, 2005 Posted August 25, 2005 I'm awakened at 5:30am like clock-work by my dog (ugh, even weekends or if I've been chatting till 3am) or she'll lick my ears to get me up if I'm being lazy. Next I stumble my way into a t-shirt & shorts, pull on some sneaks and take the dog for her 1 mi. walk (she has to sniff & see what other dogs have peed on her favorite spots....she's very territorial about them ). Back home she gets fed and then I typically check my favorite web-sites. I'm in the shower by 6:30am and out the door to work after that. Coffee waits till I get to work- then it's 2 cups for the morning. Kel
