Why was this written like I should care what a grown adult does with their life? If I could sleep in until 8:59am every day I would. All the more power to them!

- pie_flavor 4y agoThe point being made isn't about sleeping in, it's about not functionally having a morning between waking up and starting work.
- wink 4y agoAren't those just nitpicky details, though? When I was going to the office I'd usually get up, bathroom, clothes, out the door (I'm a shower-at-night person). Alarm clock at 7:30 when I need to leave at 7:40 wasn't uncommon. Sure, there's the commute but I don't think it's THAT different from what the author described, because I still take these 10 minutes before work now. I mean, I contrast this with people who like/have to get up way before they strictly need to, to go for a walk, or running, or reading, or whatever. I hate that, I don't even drink coffee at home before leaving.
- chadcmulligan 4y agoI think the point is he doesn't have to get up at 7:30 any more, a point I'm in agreement with. If you're a person who's comfortable getting up at 7:30 then it probably is meaningless. My way of explaining it is how would you like to work through till 2 in the morning, for me its no drama, but getting up in the morning is work. I've always thought that it probably harkens back to our early days, it would have been useful to have people awake most of the day, keeping an eye on things, watching out for predators and so on.
