Morning Person no more!?

There was a time not too long ago(really just over a year ago) that I was a morning person. Really an Early Morning Person. I would wake up at 5 am or 6 am to get to work by either 6am or 7am, depending on Daylight Savings Time.

The day after Memorial Day 2008 is when I started in my new job position with the company I have worked at for 9 years come this November. This new position had a schedule with start time 10am, which I have really come to enjoy.

I can stay up to around midnight and get my full 8 hours of sleep. Early mornings in my opinion are the ones I enjoy most. I feel well rested getting up at around 8am, make coffee, and prepare lunch. The morning rush hours has or is dying by the time I head to work. Sure I get off later in the day causing me to miss Rachael Ray and Oprah, but I have found that I don't really miss watching those shows.

So this week, I'm training for some new "skills", which has meant getting to work at 7am. I don't like it one bit. I'm moody in the early mornings and tired the rest of the day. I don't know how I did it before. I guess one gets used to a particular schedule when one has too. One more day of these early days and then it's back to normalcy.
