8am: Arrive for another fun day of work. (Today I'm trying to explain to one of our people that all we are looking to do is license software, and we are not going to sign up to be a reseller of the vendor's software just because they think it's a good idea. She's one of my *favorites*; if she was any dumber, she'd have to be watered twice a week. )

6pm: Leave the office. Sit in traffic, try not to let rude and/or oblivious drivers kill me or otherwise make my day even worse than it has been.

7pm: Arrive home. Try to relax and forget about the last 12 hours.

10-11pm: Collapse in bed; try to sleep without the reoccurring nightmare where I'm back in the office.
Except for the traffic thing, that could be my day 5 to 6 days a week.

She's one of my *favorites*; if she was any dumber, she'd have to be watered twice a week. )

That made me LOL. Our SVP is right up that alley, although it would be 'he' and he is Italian. Makes decisions that the rest of us go..... WTH!!!

We have a loose routine which we follow:

wake up around 7:00 am and stay in bed until 8:00 am (while DW goes to the gym).
breakfast around 9:00 am
mornings are usually used for appointments, exercise, or shopping. If none of that applies, mornings are free to do as we please.
lunch around 1:00-2:00 pm
afternoons are free to do as we please.
afternoon tea or cocktail around 4:00-5:00 pm
dinner around 7:00pm
we watch "TV" until 9:00pm, when DW usually retires for the night
I spend the rest of the evening in my study - doing some writing usually- until I go to bed around midnight.
