Friend of mine was a morning person. Came in around 6A and said he loved the couple of hours to work without being interrupted. I loved the couple of hours after five where I could work without being interrupted.
I get that too. I am a night person and everyone at work knows it. It doesn’t matter whether I work 10, 14, or 18 hours for 6, 10 or 20 days in a row, if I’m not at the plant at 7AM or earlier, I get crap for it. I do plant start ups. The morning is for the ridiculous meetings I have no interest in, as well as the morning mechanical and electrical stuff. Most of the work is accomplished after all of the management, electricians, and mechanics all go home, so I have free reign of the plant to fix wiring problems, adjust stuff, program and test things...6pm-1am is optimal. Even if I work until 3AM every day, its not worth crap unless I’m there at 7.
