What time do you get up?

It's 5:00 a.m. and I am up because I can't sleep so I thought I would work on my Masters paper... started at 3:45 a.m. And WMU's server shuts down for a few minutes to re-boot at 5:00 a.m. So I am sitting here at my parents... and the garbage truck goes by (at 5:03!). AND it doesn't just drive by but it's actually picking up garbage. So If you know where my parents live you know that they aren't located near a dump, plus they had to have started at M-66 a good 3-4 miles down the road. So I was wondering...what time so they get up? What time do they start? What time are they done? I understand that they don't want to be picking up smelly garbage at high noon...interesting.

I once was fascinated by watching the garbage "golf carts" that picked up Craig's garbage in Cleveland. They zipped in and out of this neighborhood and brought the garbage to a bigger "mother" truck. It was like watching a strange movie! Maybe I should check the anonymous identity for this entry :}

I set my alarm for 0610, but hardly ever drag my butt out of bed until 0630!!! Just enough time to be out the door by 0710, interesting, huh! :-) If it helps your frustration, with the time difference, many stateside serves do 'maintainance' right in the middle of our day when we want to use it... gotta love it!
