I get to my job earlier than needed

For some reason, I arrive at work about an hour and a half early most days. It somehow energizes me to rest and socialize a little here and also have an iced tea. I was talking to a coworker and I said to him that it's weird that I do it. He generously said " We all do what we have to do to keep ourselves motivated." 
I'm kind of eccentric:) 



good morning guys!!

That breathing room allows you to switch from home to work mode much easier and at a pace that works for your well-being!

When I was working near the beach, I'd often stop by the beach before work and just pause for a few minutes before switching gears.

I don't think it's weird. I always get to work early too. Not an hour and a half, but I like to sit and get my head ready for the work day.

weird it may be, but i'm not afraid to let my freak flag fly. that freak flag has a way of flapping, whether i give it permission to fly, or knot.

getting places early gives me time to explore the possibilities of the day before i salute the time clock. it's where i set the stage for some of my bestest practical jokes. when you least expect ^it^, expect ^it^.

When I worked in a bookstore, I went in early all the time to get coffee and look around, visit. It wasn’t just my workplace, but my community too!
