Yesterday morning I overslept! I got woken up by my dad knocking on my door saying “shouldn’t you be out the door by now?”. And I looked at the clock, and it was 7:43! And I’m supposed to take the train at 7:44 to make it to work by 8am
I’m lucky that at work we have a system called “flexitid”, or flexible time/hours, meaning as long as I’m at work 9am-3pm (so called “core hours”), it doesn’t matter if I come a little late, or go a little early, as long as I work the time I’ve “flex’ed” by the end of the week.
So it was no real rush to get to work, but I still felt bad for oversleeping, and I have a big project at work where the deadline is closing in and I’m far from finished yet, so no time to lose!
I managed to shower, get dressed, do my make-up, quickly slurp down some coffee, blow-dry my hair, grab my purse and work-things and rush out the door to catch the train 40 minutes later.
When you oversleep, and have to rush, you see what your morning must- do’s are. The things you absolutely have to do in the morning to be decent enough to walk out the door and to work.
My morning must-do’s, other than the obvious of getting dressed etc., is getting at least one sip of coffee (otherwise I can’t function at all, and my entire day is ruined
), do my make-up (I don’t wear much any ways, but need some) and grab my phone and my keys and bank card (which is usually in my purse), and if I am going to work, work keys and access card. If I’m really rushed, I can just let my hair air-dry rather than blow-drying it which takes a while since I have long hair.
I think that roughly my morning must-do’s…
What are your morning must- do’s?
I like to get up and read blogs and news while I have my coffee. Then get in a little exercise. That makes the world a better place for me!

If I have the time I like to read blogs and check my forum while sipping on my coffee
Morning must do’s: Drikke en STOR kopp kaffe. Gi Milon kos. Spise frokost, gjerne noe med egg. Dusje. Sminke meg. Og sove igjen
Det er tross alt ferie.

Haha, er noen som har det
Jeg og skulle ønske jeg bare kunne skru av alarmen og gå og legge meg igjen

That’s the best work hour regulation, ever
As far as my morning must-dos, they usually involve…oh crap, I’m late! *runs*

I’m very happy about that work-regulation
I always oversleep since I quit my last job. I’ll be back in the workforce soon, and I guess I’d have to start practicing getting up early in the morning!
I guess my morning must-dos (other than showering and getting dressed too) are putting on a bit of make-up, checking my bag’s contents so I don’t forget anything, grabbing a book from my shelves if I’m in the mood to read, and kissing my cat before I leave the house. Coffee usually can wait until I get to the office.

I know what you mean. I had about 6 months of doing nothing besides applying for jobs after I graduated, and it was a bit of an adjustment to SUDDENLY have to get up at 6am every day, and work from 8am to 4pm
And having worked for 8 months, and I still have some adjustments to do, regarding student life versus working full time life.
