to give a talk to a meeting in Italy. (I was told about this yesterday. Somebody left me off a cc list for the agenda last week, or I would have objected.) In fact I was up at 0500, since my talk was at 0600. I am a grad student and not a creature of the early morning. Urgh.
In fact, I appear to be the only person in the building. Posts: 10645 | Registered: Jul 2004

It's like slice of life James Bond. Between the beautiful women and the car chases, there's probably a lot of waking up early and waiting for stuff to happen.

Trust me, if you ever leave academia and enter the the mainstream working world, it gets worse. You can claim expenses though...

Your own fault. If you did your job and invented a time machine, you coulda woke up at 1100 and given your talk at 0600.

Even better, invent a cloning machine and have your clone get up at 6 while you get lunch in bed from a sexy Italian hostess.

Those are all silly ideas. A much more practical idea is to get your hands on a Transmogrifier gun, and then just transmogrify into a "creature of the mornning," whatever that may be.

You could use a Time-Turner and go back to 6:00, but with that you have to live two days in one. I would think you would be twice as tired at the end of the day.

How am I going to force my clone to do all the hard work?
