I always feel kinda lazy when I’m not up super early

Do need to work on getting up earlier though haha

But even when I do, I’m just super sluggish until later in the day.

I try to do stuff anyway but it gets done super slowly and less effectively even if I have caffeine

I have to be up a few hours first or sometimes I’m better at night or afternoon haha

Nothing wrong with being more effective later in the day. I call that being a second shifter. I have always been a first shifter.

I find these comments offensive and hurtful. Please stop. Bullies often say hurtful things and then say they are just joking. I have been the victim of these kinds of "jokes" myself, and I feel Kelsey's pain.

Same.

Yes they need to stop. It's not like we can run out and get jobs right now anyway.

I am surprised no one mentioned this.

I had seen that happening in other countries so it's no surprise I suppose it's happening here too. I suspect this is just the beginning of the supply chain disruptions coming in the months ahead. It's heart breaking to see hundreds of cars lined up at food banks while food is left to rot in fields, milk is being dumped, and meat is going to waste. (for all the various reasons)

Someone in the food industry was on the news earlier today explaining the disconnect between the farmer with the product and the hungry customer and why so much dumping is happening right now. And how big ag is set up to incentivize producers for dumping instead of donating. This person also thought that if food banks had some type of refridgeration, instead of relying on just dry goods, that it could be helpful and a means to make better use of meat and dairy items otherwise going to waste.

I'm not a morning person, but I'm not a night owl either.
For heat reasons I'll get up early and get outside work done by noon. And at times I've had to work night shifts too, but generally I find I'm most productive between 10am to 6pm.
Guess that makes me a ...mid-shifter??
Well now at least. At my previous farm I worked from before sun-up to well after sunset....24/7/365

I hope it's okay I pop up and sometimes comment. I'm not sure if this thread is open to public or not. I live alone and am old ( rushing towards 73 this summer) just not sure where I fit in.

The township had a free bus service for seniors/disabled but with covid, that has been shut down. So have no one else to talk too. Lived in this neighborhood for 50 years - it's mostly young families now and no one to be friends with.

My son lives 1300 miles away (he once told me) has a GF and kind of forgets I'm alive. Used to call every Sunday (His idea) but, now rushes thru the call. I told him he doesn't have to call. Just now and then send an email so I know the two of them are okay. Lives very close to ground zero where this all started in USA.

Sorry you don't need a complainer and depressed person.

Some people are just more inclined to doing things late in the day. Ain't nothing wrong with that.

Yup bad english!

I have always been a morning mover. It makes me crazy on the weekends as hubs sleeps til 9am then doesn't want to help with anything until it is super hot out.....I don't do hot.

I'm usually a morning person, but this quarantine mess has my days/nights/times really messed up. Some days I'm up and at 'em shortly after the alarm clocks crow. Others, I'm so lethargic that it gets to be nearly dinnertime before I realize that I haven't gotten very much accomplished, that day. Then I end up racing like a maniac so I can feel like I haven't wasted the whole day. Those are the nights when I find myself doing dishes at midnight and going to bed with the washing machine running!

According to her profile, she hasn't logged in since March 28th. I hope she's okay!

It's concerning when someone just disappears like that.
