An ogre, if you will. I’ve found that if I post to the SDMB when I first wake up, or within a few hours of waking up, I am far more likely to post some sort of douchey, snarky, cynical claptrap than in the evening. I’m really a very thoughtful, sweet (I think), polite person. Mundane. Pointless. Stuff. ---

I used to be grumpy if I got woken up prematurely and my chance of more sleep was ruined for no good reason. These days I don’t get grumpy in the mornings (or what counts as ‘morning’ for someone who works 4pm til midnight) ---

I’ve been pretty grumpy lately and have often typed up snarky posts, only to shut them down before posting. I try to be a pretty good guy, but lately I’ve been a whole bag full of grump - maybe even a bag and half full. So before I post I step back and reread and most of the time if it seems snarky I shut it down. ---

Why Is that, Ogre? I’m usually more cheery in the AM, 'til the weathering of the day makes me have a more craptacular attitude. Here on the SD, I am at my worst after work, um, like now…, and the times I’ve fired off something I regret are at night after work. What is it about the morning for you, honestly curious. ---

No idea, really. I suppose my gears aren’t fully calibrated yet, or something. 🙂 It usually takes me a little while to get up to speed in the mornings. I suppose you can tell from this posting time that I’m a bit of a night owl, even though I have to drive in the morning.
