Leave it for at least another hour, who's awake at 9:30?

Full ACK!

In our place, manglement insists that we show up bodily at 09:00 at the latest. This means you have to get out of the house at 07:00. Unless you own a car-crushing M1A1 to get through the non-traffic of the 100'000-EUR-car-overmotorized-but-standing-still retards.

I suppose the fantasy is that there will be imprompu, serendipitious collaboration holisitically emerging from the cauldron of unplanned face-to-face 360°-awareness of physical presence.

Instead, various zombies are milling around the water fountain and perennially dirty coffee machine (because no-one can be arsed to clean it, natch) discussing their weekends, marriage plans and other life horrors ot the latest rumors of what's in the pipe above our heads or how to make sense of friday afternoon's latest "reprioritization". Till around 10:30.
