What is your morning routine?

Dmitriy@AUTOcouture · 11-08-2007, 08:40 AM

I'm not sure if everyone on here does this or not, but whenever I log on @ the office I have a routine that I usually adhere to upon start up of Windows.

So here it is:

First, I open Lotus Notes (our corporate e-mail client).
Afterwards I log on to Sametime (corporate Instant Messaging client) for a morning update with Matt (MoreCowbell on this board).
And finally, I click on the start menu and open Internet Explorer and while its loading, I repeat the action 2/3 more times. The websites that I open are as follows:

1. CnnMoney (money.cnn.com)
2. E90post (www.e90post.com/forums)
3. Our corporate Java Desktop called FSD - Financial Services Desktop (sorry can't disclose the address)

This has been somewhat of a routine for the past year, and has never been altered... somewhat odd.

Anyway just wanted to know if any of you also have some sort of morning ritual...

Not stuck in any strict routine, really.
