Basically, what Nick said.
Except, when he leaves for work, I stay in bed and start to fall back asleep. Then, I get worried that I'll oversleep so I put an extra pillow under my head and turn on the lamp. Then at some point I turn off the AC because it lulls me. And I stay there listening to the news or music. And after my bath or shower, I get back in bed and stare at the ceiling some more and daydream. It's a wonder I'm on time to work every day.

I like that Nick calls himself "Pepper" ;)

why are all snoozes nine minutes? i used to know this

I was asking that question just this weekend.

Because ten minutes would be too long and eight too short?

maybe its so the latter two digits are completely different with each snooze, thereby minimizing the potential for mid-sleep, blurry-eyed fuckups of the "oh shit its 7:50 - i thought it said 7:20" variety

Mine has an eight minute snooze. I knew there was something wrong with my mornings.

7:50 - hit snooze button on clock radio & cell phone alarm
7:59 - repeat
8:04 - wake to NPR. wonder where i am.
8:05 - turn on computer, fire up Soulseek & kazaa for that day's downloading
8:07 - dig thru clean clothes pile for band t-shirt that doesn't have scandalous artwork on it, find clean pair of khakis/jeans
8:15 - fix hair, find keys, put that day's CDs in satchel(a.k.a "man purse"), stomp downstairs, turn off overnight lights
8:25 - leave for work(yeah right), listen to NPR, avoid road construction
8:30 - walk 200-400 meters from space in huge parking lot into building
8:34 - log in. fire up email, opera, ILX, Livejournal, job software. begin that day's fucking around, dig clamshell headphones out of desk drawer
9:00 - head to food shop/deli/ass-rape food sellery place, purchase unhealthy breakfast sandwich
9:05 - return to desk & consume breakfast, fire up CD player
9:10 - 12:30 - Jesus, you fucks get paid THIS much money and you don't know how to probably fill out a mortgage application. STOP CALLING ME YOUR SHIT WILL BE DONE WHEN ITS DONE. why won't this desk fan work? NPR sucks today. Oh, how nice, your mommy & daddy are buying you a house, aren't they? You make THAT much money? Not fuckin' hardly.
12:30 - drive back into town for lunch/CD shopping. or stay at building to eat in rip-off deli and nap in car
1:30 - back to the fun. flip thru applications, bank statements, tax returns. have rather dull & pedesterian sexual fantasies involving certain acquaintances, that chick who was playing bass last night, certain ILX types, that chick who sings in the band playing tonight, etc. check email every 30-75 seconds. respond immediately. drink more beverages. scramble to meet underwriting quotas.
5:30 - i wonder if the new Onion is online yet? Oh well, time to go home.
5:45 - get the fuck out of my way, your construction truck is blocking the lane.
6:00 - oh look, the housemates haven't taken the trash out yet. i wonder who's online right now? time to fire up IM. What? only THAT many of my soulseek downloads happened? oh, it's cuz you banned me. fuck you, too, jack. You're not getting any of my Spiritualized boots, then.
6:30 - enough of that. nap time!
7:00 - enh. fuck consciousness. more nap time!
7:40 - i should probably get something to eat.
8:10 - time to play some Wolfenstein. i better plug my battery charger in for tonight.
10:10 - time to head to the show / i'd better practice my bass some. then, time to play Grim Fandango / i wonder if anybody wants to go to the pub tonight?
12:10 - have i updated my nerve ad lately? time for a shower
12:45 - i should really go to bed / jeez that opening band sucked
1:25 - okay, i REALLY need to stop reading the Something Awful forums and go to bed
1:45 - lights out
2:15 - fuck, i hate insomnia

repeat over and over and OVER AND OVER AND FUCKIN' OVER AGAIN

6:10 -- sometimes alarum, sometimes not, if I'm already awake and have shut it off
6:10-6:30 -- orange juice! roll! e-mail! BBC News! ILX!
6:30-6:50 -- shower, shave, etc.
6:50-7:20 {or 7:30) -- catch a combination of bus routes to campus
7:20/30-4:10 -- work, with lunch somewhere in there as a movable feast
4:10-4:40 -- catch a combination of bus routes home

I don't know if typing this out makes me feel better or not. ugg, what a fucking routine.

7.40 Alarm. Shave, wash, dress, pick out music for walkman, etc.
8.05 leave house. Get tube. Walkman and book accompaniment.
8.55 arrive at work. I'm a systems analyst and programmer at a university, so anything in that line.
1-2 or when I get around to it: lunch hour. Occasionally go shopping (records, comics) or to British Museum, mostly ILX.
5.00 leave work
5.50 home. Quick shower (if I'm home late and there's something on TV at 6 (Simpsons!) this will be delayed).
6-11 or 12. Get online. Catch up on ILX. AIM chats. Any long threads, load but save to read offline. Food sometime. Some TV. Some music. Read newspapers.
11 or 12 - go to bed. Read a bit before sleeping.

(I find these oddly fascinating.)

Wake up, shower, caffeine (usually in pill or diet Red Bull form), wake up. If it's a horrible evil summer semester day, "waking up" means checking email, getting some of that breakfast Chex Mix stuff, catching the bus, going to class, having cigarettes, and coming home. On weekends I can jump right to the real day:

Hi cats! Hi girlfriend! Hi ESPN!

Until 3:00 or so, do either entertainment type stuff -- television, movies, reading whatever magazine came in the mail -- or mindless stuff like homework, studying, responding to email. No matter what time I wake up, or how much sleep I got, I don't hit my mental stride until about 3:00.

Check mail, sort bills, possibly finally remember to take off today's page on the page-a-day calendar.

3:00 -- ideally, start work. Usually the sort of thing I do in the afternoon is organizational, revising, etc.

Hi cats! Hi girlfriend! Hi ESPN!

Make dinner, eat dinner, maybe watch movie with girlfriend and/or cats, make sure cats are fed and water is fresh, do dishes, tend to whatever needs doing for tomorrow's meals -- i.e. thawing, marinating, things of that sort.

Real work starts around 8:00ish and ideally goes for the next six hours. The hour's difference in television schedules has thrown me off a bit, because I'm used to unwinding post-dinner with an hour of primetime television before hitting the keys, but I point you again to: hi cats! Hi girlfriend! Hi ESPN!

or mindless stuff like homework, studying !!

I am not an especially good student, per se. School's a hobby. But most of that stuff, too, it's like -- I forgot to take my Spanish class pass/fail, so it's just crap like "insert the impersonal se in the following sentences where it needs to go, bitch," and my Poli Sci class was just a lot of "hey, dig Locke smacking Hobbes," and whatnot.

7.00 wake up and lie around in bed)
7.40 getup Up UP
8.25 leave for work, maybe do annoying errand eg drop off laundry on the way
8.30 at work, turn on computer, get first cup of coffee, work work work
10.00 coffee break, work
12.00 lunch, errands (banking, car to garage...) work
15.00 coffee break, work
17.00 leave for home, more annoying errands if necessary - shopping
19.00 c.e /tv /drawing /reading /phonecalls /gardening /a film, and dinner
20.00 sleep

there is no normal day this summer.

I forgot the part around 7-12 which I get intensely paranoid.

I am probably not in your closet.

Yeah that's cos yr under the bed.

he's marinating.

I was born fork-tender, you fuck!

... wait.

Every day from now til december:

10:00 wake up. emerge from closet in tv studio, or optionally if sleeping on friend's couch/floor, take shower and bike to studio.

11:00 coffee coffee coffee some form of food and coffee, hang out & chat, perhaps have a meeting about tv show.

12:00-16:00 draw animation for show and/or some computer work. Take a short break for a bike ride and some dumpster diving.

16:00 make lunch, hopefully with dumpster scores.

17:00 more work.

21:00 break for dinner, beer, movies, stealing, bike ride or whatever.

24:00-4:00 find place to sleep.

What the hell is with ILE's food fetish today? It's only food, folks, not love.

Fork you, Tep!

Don't make me clog your arteries, Binky.

You couldn't clog my arteries if you were the most artery-clogging thing ever produced at We're All About Artery Clogging LTD and God himself ordered a clogging jihad on my infidely arteries.

Could so infinity.

(This thread is so I know you are but what's your mother.)

Ahh, school is back and so is my routine:

6-6:30 hit snooze.

This schedule alters on Friday when I head straight from school to my second job. Weekends: sleep, drink, work, repeat.

A normal day? Doesn't exist in my life.

7.30 woken by annoying tones of Red Symons on ABC radio. Hit snooze button without even moving anything apart from my arm. Fall back asleep.
7.39-8.10ish - repeat snooze button bashing and alternate ABC radio DJ batherings about John Howard.
8.10 - sit up, look for wearable clothes in pile of black stuff all over the floor, try to convince Nick to wake up by promising I'll make him tea.
8.20 - 9.10 get dressed, feed cat before she eats me, make very strong 3-cup espresso, have that with 2-3 panadiene pills and some toast, browse the net quickly if I've time, leave for work.
9.10-10am - walk 20 mins to tram stop, sit on Chapel st tram for forever in traffic getting to Richmond
10.05 - start work late, as per usual. Sit staring into space and/or reading livejournal til I wake up a bit more.
12 - lunch for a half hour or so
12.30-6 more work, browsing, staring into space, being grumpy, being interrupted trying to listen to my mp3s.
6-7pm - get on tram and either go straight home, or spend a cold miserble 45 minutes buying and hauling home very heavy shopping bags alone on foot (I hate this with a passion)
7-8pm come home, feed cat, sit on couch, smoke several cigs and drink a little bit of cider or wine, try to wind down, watch Frasier and Simpsons reruns.
8-10pm Nick gets home, I make dinner, smoke some pipes, sit around writing or watching TV or watching Nick design 3D animations, play Sims, clean up the house a bit.
10-11pm collapse into bed and feel guilty that I fall asleep almost immediately.

Lather, rinse, repeat. I'm getting sick of my routine.
