A Day In The Life ...

[davidcook]

Monday, to be precise. Here's how some of my days look at this end of 2013 :
(all times approximate)

06:45 Alarm goes off
07:15 I get up on hearing Bub, having slept through the alarm (oops)
07:20-07:50 Breakfast (I share a few (dry) corn flakes with Bub, and some of my toast).
07:50-08:10 Showering etc
08:10-08:20 Packing bag, gathering stuff, trying to remember what I'm forgetting this time.
08:20-09:20 Riding to work
09:20-09:30 Shower/change at office
09:30-13:00 Morning of work, including meetings, a bit of programming, talking to people, reading/answering e-mail, etc.
13:00-14:00 Lunch. Probably ate lunch, caught up on Twitter, went for a walk around Docklands near the office
14:00-17:40 Afternoon of work, much like the morning
17:40-17:45 Changing for ride home
17:45-19:05 Riding home + shower/change
19:05-20:10 "Wind-down" time with Bub. Includes playing random games, foam sword fencing, reading books, etc.
20:10-20:45 Cook and eat dinner (Bub and rwrylsin eat earlier, usually around 17:30).
20:45-23:40 I think I washed dishes, chatted to rwrylsin for a while and caught up on her day with Bub, caught up on Twitter some more, then came upstairs to catch up on e-mail, Internets, etc.
23:40- Bed ...

You only have a 7-hour workday? :O And why do you change again at the office?

[davidcook]

Well, 7-ish hours, on the current project. Some days lunch is shorter, some days I arrive earlier or leave later ... and every now and then they need me outside of regular hours or on a weekend (fortunately not in the office, though) - so there's a bit of flexibility on both sides.

As for changing - the ride is about 22km, and I get hot and sweaty :)
Also, anything but cycling gear would be too uncomfortable for that distance, and I'd be hotter and sweatier, so, shower & change at both ends for me.

Oh wow, I hadn't realized you were cycling to work! That makes a lot of sense now.
