A typical day in the life of Sam

6:15. Wake up to my clock radio. At the moment it plays this stupid radio station where these two guys play tricks on people. Think Jackass on the radio. I roll over and half snooze, half listen to the radio until it switches off an hour later.
7:10. 100 Sit-ups/Crunches in bed (why get all cold on the floor?)
7:15. Get up and jump in the shower.
7:20. Iron a shirt
7:25. Get dressed and leave the house.
7:30. Walk to the red line subway
7:35. Get to the subway.
7:40. A train arrives. Read my book while on the train.
8:00. Arrive at downtown crossing. Change trains
8:05 Get on the Orange line subway
8:12. Arrive at work. Plug in my laptop. Check my work email, gmail, facebook, news, etc.

8:30. Get a cup of tea and breakfast. Breakfast varies between an English muffin, a bagel or cereal.
8:45. Start work.
10:00. 10 minutes break. get water, check my email, read the latest updates to the news.
12:00pm. Lunch time. Walk across the road and buy a cheese sandwich - just like in school.
12:10. sit down at my desk again, read more news, forums, websites, etc with my lunch.
12:45. Start work again.
3:00. Afternoon tea time. Stretch my legs, do a loop of the floor, get a second cup of tea, and some animal crackers or candy from the vending machine. Have a chat at the coffee machine with whoever is there.
3:15. back to work.
5:00. Feel 'done' for the day and wish that I could leave work.
5:45. Actually leave work.
5:46. Go to Cleary's Pub for a pint and a quick bite to eat with whoever is there.
7:30. Get back on the Orange line for home, get my book out again...
7:37. Change trains at Downtown crossing again. (I usually have to wait 10 minutes for a train at this time of night)
7:45. Change to the Red line
8:05. Get off at Davis sq, where I live.
8:10. Walk in the door. take off my work clothes.
8:15. Check my work email, gmail, facebook, news, etc.
8:30. Cook a better dinner (depending on what I actually ate at Cleary's).
9:00. A combination of play guitar, play a video game, watch tv/DVD (and usually work if I'm doing this), talk to a friend on the phone, washing, cleaning, eating, etc. Sometimes it's just one of these... other times it's all at the same time (I'm a chronic multi-tasker)
11:00. Think about going to bed.
11:45. Go to bed. Check my work email, gmail, facebook, news, etc. one more time before I go to sleep.
12:05. lights out.

    You get up at 6.15 but don't get to work for another 2 hours??
    My alarm goes off at 6.20 and I am at work at 7.30 (and working).

    no no. I get up at 7:15. the radio wakes me up slowly. But remember, this is a typical day. Sometimes I'm at work at 7, other days 9.
