I'm the type of guy who comes in the office, makes coffee, boots PC (witch was switched off), sips coffee, reads mail, reads daily websites and then starts working (although reading mail is working, kinda). Some colleagues come in, sit down, take PC out of hibernate and start working within seconds.
I'm curious what do you do at the start of the day... ?

Wake up, fall out of bed, drag a comb across my head, find my way downstairs and drink a cup, then looking up, notice I am late, find my coat and grab my hat, make the bus in seconds flat, find my way upstairs and have a smoke, then somebody speaks and I go into a dream.
Ah.
Maybe I should write a song about it?

Good idea! Perhaps you could get McCartney to knock out a tune for it?

Mostly like you - except coffee and PC boot.
I drink no coffee and PC is on all night, because of backup...

You tell! Once my mum come over and I forgot to check the coffee - it was old and tasteless...she had some nice words to me...

Is hot tea okay? English Breakfast not that green crap.
I do make coffee for the Mrs. every morning, the brewing and the milk and sugar in her cup, does that appease the coffee gods?

Same as you but instead of making coffee we have someone at office that makes us the coffee every morning and after noon.

Same as you except Porridge instead of coffee and I don't switch off my iMac so it's ready to use in seconds.

Alarm goes off at 0700, hit snooze 2 or 3 times, get up, turn heating on (if appropriate), have shower, make first attempt to wake daughter up, go downstairs and put on kettle and George Formby grill, open curtains, check work phone for emails to be pre-warned*, go back upstairs, make second attempt to wake daughter, let dog out of my bedroom and take him downstairs to let him out into the back garden, make tea, breakfast, and packed lunch for daughter (sometimes for myself too), go back upstairs and remove daughter from her bed to come downstairs and eat breakfast, get dressed, take daughter to school, check work phone for emails to be pre-warned**, drive to work.
Park car, check work phone for emails to be pre-warned**, walk to office, take lift to first floor as hip not working properly since car crash, logon to PC which has been turned on all night.
At this point if there is something that needs addressing I will address it straight away, if there is an email that has angered me then I will type out a caustic reply then not send to give me time to calm down and reconsider, check CP, check Derby County news, check BBC news and sport headlines.
Think about doing some actual work.
Acknowledge colleagues and distract them with pointless chatter is cannot be bothered with work yet.
*If necessary will log in from home to look at.
**This is the point at which I will return home to remote to work as is 5 minutes drive whereas the office is 35 minutes.

I reach office normally by 09.40 AM.
The first thing I do is to check emails to see if there's anything that needs immediate attention. If not, I'll take go get myself a green tea and a bottle of water from the pantry.
I check CP once every couple of hours or so through the day.

Working from home used to be wonderful, get coffee, demand breakfast from the wife, turn on computer (always reboot every night) consider whether the ashtray really needs emptying or can I stuff a couple more buts in there and shame the wife into emptying it when she delivers breakfast. Look at emails, decide which can be ignored and which have $ attached.
I loved working from home in the 90s, I don't think I EVER got breakfast delivered, once the ashtray started bulging at the side I would have to empty it or move to another location (garage was suggested).
Now - get into the office 8am, start computer, read ebook while the bastard thing negotiates with the innumerable corpotare AV and network security tools. 10-12 minutes pleasant reading and I can now go check CP and the paper. Look at emails and dicide which can be ignored because I get CCd every bit of crap in the teams 
AND I'm getting f***ing OLD, I really dislike this century!
