I am remote and run my department (it’s just me). There are some customer facing things but I have clients in all different timezones so it actually works out well. I typically clock on at 10am, take a long lunch, and often do a few more hours in the evening if clients need me.
I should be sleeping right now…
I’ve been trying to adjust my sleep schedule so I go to bead earlier so I can get up at around 9 without being uselessly tired. Haven’t managed yet but I hope to get there slowly.
I live in central Europe and work remotely with US team. Most people locally work from 7-8, I start work at 10.
10 years ago I’d be awake from 12 till 3 in the morning, it took me a few years to migrate towards 10 till 1. I still do oversleep on weekends, though.
The thing I hated the most about covid was how businesses reduced hours. It was stupid when it happened because it meant people were more likely to come in contact during the fewer hours the stores were still open. It was stupid in hindsight because the stated reason was so they could be closed to sanitize when a) covid doesn’t last that long on surfaces anyways, and b) it’s airborne and wasn’t really transmitted on surfaces in most cases.
In the end, it’s just harder to function as someone who often starts their “morning routine” in the afternoon. Especially being in a location where for some reason everything closes like mid-afternoon Sundays.
Surprisingly well. The biggest problem is grocery shopping as the shops close somewhere between 18:00 and 20:00. They open up mostly between 7:00 and 9:00, so this is a bit rough.
Appointments for physiotherapist and doctors are unpleasant as well. But i tend to take the earliest appointment possible which has the benefit of no waiting time.
Accumulate a massive sleep debt, crash when I can’t go anymore. This will repeat until I have a heart attack or aneurysm yelling at yet another day walker that can’t drive for shit. Otherwise, everything is peachy.
Wife thinks I’m being lazy bc I crash and don’t help with baby on weekend mornings … I call her lazy when she falls asleep after I put the toddler to bed on weekdays.
