What's too early?
I am having a hard time being awake this morning. I had to get up by 5am to catch a train downtown. I am attending the Ad:tech conference. The location is nice. We are on Navy Pier. I will take a picture later of the event, as it is quite the elaborate setup. One thing I have noticed, no one should be cheery in the morning. And if you are, at 5am, don't sit next to me on the train. Better yet, don't talk, at all, on the train. Whether you are sitting next to me or 5 rows behind me, just don't talk. I don't want to hear about your night last night. I don't want to hear about you complain about the cost of coffee. Please get the message, I don't want to hear you period. Neither do the other people on the train giving you dirty looks. 5am is not a time for conversation. It is a time for self reflection. In other words, sleeping. Just because you got an inordinate amount of sleep that none of the rest of us got, we don't want to hear about it. Save it for the forgiving return train that seems much more open to conversation. The morning train is not for community, it is a zombie like shuttle to a semi-conscious state upon arrival. Just enough to wonder into the office with eyes slightly ajar and coherent enough to pass for alert.
