Lay in

  Some days I wish I could just lay in bed until I'm ready to get up. I don't think it is the fact that I get up so early, since the days when I do lay in I generally do get up any later than 7 or 8 in the morning. I think it is the fact that I must go to sleep and get up at exact times that bothers me. I wish I could live a more free form life if that makes any sense? So much of what I do is being at certain places at certain times to do certain things. I would much rather just do things as they take my fancy when they take my fancy.

  I think this includes the whole I must be in the office and do 8 hours of work during the day every day from Monday to Friday. I would find it easier if I could just get some work done, having worked the equivalent of my required hours and do it when I want to. So much of what I do has no fixed time to get it done other than as soon as possible and virtually all of my interactions with my work colleagues is via IM and online that I don't see why this should be a problem. Work however still thinks that being physically in the same place is required even though us engineers are spread out over 4 different places in 4 different times zones in 2 different countries.
