Okay, folks. Counter thread. I'm a morning person. Guess it comes from the 31 years I taught High school. I just can't sleep past 6:00AM. Put in a long day when Star Wars opened (including midnight show) and was still up early.Actually, I find this a benefit. I leave the late runs to the young turks, for the most part. I like to get in early while the place is quiet, and I get a ton of work done- mainly maintenance and recordkeeping. No phones ringing and no people to bother me. My least productive time starts around noon. I'll generally work a busy Friday or Saturday night and let one of the operators close. Still love those mornings for productivity. Anyone on this side of the fence?

I love sitting outside on my deck at my hillside house at dawn and watching the sun rise over Hollywood. It always inspires me and reminds me of how lucky I am.I feel the same way watching the sunsets. >>> Phil

Shower.....Stand in it until the water gets cold. Then Coffee and more coffee... Mornings are totally useless to me. I don't even like doing anything until the clock strikes noon. But then again, it is my own fault. I don't get to sleep until sometimes 0200 in the morning because I am sitting in front of this damn computer. I am a night person.

Brad:I don't really have a tip. You are either a morning person, or you're not. I think my biological clock set itself many years ago when the High School I was teaching at went to double sessions. Since I was a coach, I was always assigned to the morning session, which ment I had to be in at 6:30AM with my first class at 7:00. Even after double sessions ended, the school day started at 7:30AM, so I've always been an early riser. When I was younger, I worked several nights each week as a relief projectionist/manager as well. Now that I'm retired from teaching and working at the theater full-time, the early riser habit just stayed with me. Since I do the operator schedules, I usually work the matinees and stay away from the late night work for the most part. However, I do occasionally pay a surprise late night visit, just to make sure everything is running okay. I can appreciate night owls. I was one when I worked the summer houses (again, many years ago). I have a couple of night owls who work for me and they do a great job, especially on those godawful nights that we have late shows.
