Morning Person

I am a morning person, ask me to wake up at 4 am to do something and I am most likely to do it. But tell me to concentrate after 9 pm, the time usually reserved to do some bed time reading then I am not your person. Mornings work well for me - I can study, exercise, do anything with the exception of having food so early. I like beating the traffic and getting to work earlier than most people, usually at around 7:40 in the morning. And then work till about 4 pm.

By the time people start trickling in to the office, I would have managed to complete a big chunk of my work. Now this may sound as blowing one’s own trumpet, but being the efficient person that I am and because I absolutely love what I am doing right now, I finish my work quite fast and have spells of periods when I have nothing much to do. People that I liaise with in other departments are just signing my praises. So I know that whatever I am doing I am doing it well and alright.

Even my boss, quite grudgingly, is coming around to accepting that. But the big rock that she holds against me is on my preferred work timings. She hates and I mean absolutely hates the fact that I want to come for work early and leave on time. BB (Big Boss) some how expects me to do an extra hour on a daily basis. I did a small calculation and she must be joking if she thinks that I would be willing to do that. Effectively it means that I would end up working an extra 32 days on a free of charge basis. Yeah sure!!

So the past whole week I have been internally moaning about just one thing – not having enough guts to confront my boss about this....
