Is it weird to like being in the office a couple hours before everyone else shows up so I can start my day with peace and quiet?

No, I think a lot of people think this

Less noise, less distraction, less light

@alexbrooklyn oooo and boy am I a sucker for working in the dark lmao

I torture myself getting up at 5:15 to be early at work and to leave as one of the first, the 2 hours of quiet and harmony in a dark office are wonderful

@alexbrooklyn I dont think I could have explained it better myself lmao

I love working around Christmas. Empty office, empty streets, empty trains. Best work days

@J4s0n dude this is my aesthetic

It's weird if you don't also leave a couple of hours before everyone else

Is anyone else neurotic about it so that when you wake up late (for you), rush to get to the office and still are the first one in by a lot.

@detlefgrohs me, I'll send a message that I'm running late sometimes and still end up being the first one there for my team. Usually it's a race between me and the CTO for who shows up and opens the office.

But we never leave early, I think we're doing it wrong.

@sylar182 Yep, first one in and last one out. What is wrong with us?

I'm here at 6am reading this post for exactly the same reason

I do the opposite usually where possible, come late, leave later. I can't do mornings :(

I used to do this, be the first one in. Consistently. But now I work remotely at a company where the majority of my coworkers live on the East Coast while I’m on the West Coast. So I wake up at 5-6 to try to get in by 6-7 am my time and always feel late. 😭
