Everyday we have the same routine, from getting up from your bed to going to your office. And you spend 8 to 12 hours sitting at your desk, or more, depends on the nature of your work, but I am wondering, what is the first thing you do when you arrived in your workplace? or sitting in your chair? Like me, once I enter the office, I turn on the heater and have a cup of green tea, lol! (that's true by the way..=)) How about you guys, what's yours? =p

I usually sit on my chair for some minutes to meditate :). I always need those minutes before I start working.

The first thing I do is turning the computer and see new e-mails. And the second thing is getting some hot water from the tea room. Then start to work all day.

When I arrive at the office, I do my make up. Upon leaving my home, I don't put some make up, I just apply face powder on my face and I will continue when I'm already in the office.

as i wake up in the morning, i make my coffee then take a bath. or well, before taking a bath, i do some workouts. then after that, may take my breakfast or even not. when i reached the office, what i did most was usually i opened the computer first. then if my office mates had their breakfast, and if i did not eat mine sometimes, i joined with them. after that, i will concentrate with my work and ended it all when snack time or lunch is occurring. so that what happened most of the time in the office :P

Every time I arrive at the office I would be tapping in to log in my Time in. Next is to open my computer. Usually takes a couple of minutes to load so I would get my tumbler and head to the pantry to get myself a water. Depending on what I feel like drinking I would just try to make myself a cup of hot chocolate. But most of the time is just water. Sometimes of some officemates ate already b there we would be cussing bs bit b before it is time.

I used to start by having breakfast in the cafeteria but the food of late seems to have gone from bad to worse. So, these days, I just enter office, get to my seat and start off by going through all my mails and getting a bit of the news before I actually start work.

My place of work was a 24/7 operation. I would get a cup of coffee then read the notes from the evening and night before. I would talk to the person I was reliving, then help the residents get breakfast. Pretty much the same every day.

I generally attend to do the following tasks before starting my desk work : Self cleaning of my table, chair, mouse, keyboard, monitor, cpu, ups, printer etc. Reading daily newspaper for about to ten minutes. A little bit of chat with my office members. Seeing my mail id inbox contents for the day. I pray for god for 2-3 minutes daily before commencing my work
