Oh what a beautiful day! I’m a night owl, so mornings are rarely beautiful. I had a great hallway conversation with a coworker today about being a night owl in an early bird world. First, let me digress for a wee moment about hallway conversations at work.
They provide a wonderful break in routine because of their spontaneity. How wonderful to bump into someone that you enjoy talking with and striking up a conversation about whatever topic pops into your mind.
Back to the point of the conversation. We’re both night owls. It was wonderful to hear that I am not the only one who vacuums at 9:00pm and thinks that it’s a perfectly normal time to do that chore. We also shared that it’s frustrating to not be able to take care of little tasks at that time because places are closed or people are asleep. We came up with a wonderful solution. I’m hoping it will catch on in society.
There are plenty of night owls so why not have businesses open from early morning till about 10:00 at night? Let the night owls start their shifts later and be able to work when they are at their best. When you apply for a job you could check off a box for early bird or night owl and that will determine when you work. Then we could get tasks done when we’re finally awake enough to do them and I wouldn’t have to wake up so bloody early in the morning.
Anyhoo…who who…just a thought.
