Hi All, Today, I go to my office early. It's great. I feel comfortable and peace. There are not noises now. The air is quiet. I open my PC, reading news, writing blogs and starting discussions here. I like to go office early. How are you? If you have enough conditions, would you go office early?

I usually go to the office before lunch because I work til 1 or 2 am. That works for me because at 9 pm, I feel at peace in the office. No more people and no more phone ringing. I can concentrate more on my pending work. hehehe...

All people are sleeping when you're working. I used to work at a call center. But working at night is quite hard.

It is not a call center actually. It just so happen that we have partner agencies abroad and I look after their requests. So I usually, wait for their office hours to end before I go home. Maybe I am a creature of the night. hahaha... Since I was a kid I used to sleep late at night so I am used to it.

When I used to go to work, I also liked to arrive work early. I liked to buy a breakfast takeout, brought it to work to eat. And I liked to brew my tea and stuff before workstarted.

Small things take much time of us. So, if we got to office early, we can save much time.

I used to come to office early or on time. But recently, I come to office quite late. However, I'm still one of the earliest staff to reach office first because we have different office hours.

I don't go to office but I do have school. I used to be late for class always. It's been a month now since i've started going to school early. I am the first person in class and i get bored. There's no one to talk to and i just stare at the door for my friends to arrive. Sometime i think going to school late was good lol but my mom says NO!!

I am always early for work. Work starts at 6 am but I usually go to work before 5:45am. My only sentiment is that my employer never see that as a good point. I am always told that it is expected to be early at work. Sometimes, I have to go home late unfortunately with no pay. Sometimes its ok but there are times when it isn't good for my health. I have no health insurance so I just have to drink plenty of water and take some multivitamins to keep me fit. During breaktime, I'm not allowed to have coffee or use the computer. Very strict training at work, isn't it?

I don't work any longer. When I did. I would stay late a lot. It is quiet like you said and it seems you can get more done. I didn't go in early too often, as I like to sleep in, but it would be the same atmosphere. The only thing I didn't like about staying late was if you had to make a call, most places were closed.

It's the same here. I only go early. But I rarely stay late after working time.

I liked going to the office early for I really don't want to be late. It's not a good trait not being punctual when I am still new in the job. But most of the time I come in 10-15 minutes before the time because I usually over sleep. There is never a time that there is no one inside the office since our company works 24/7.

I dont! Going to the office and being in the office is very stressful cause you have to handle an ineffective boss everyday and you have to pretend that you like him. If you come early, you will see his face early and your mood is already changed very early in the morning and you dont want that.

I use to be the late-comer in the office as I leave the farthest from my team mates. But I don't get charge for tardiness as I am on a flexy schedule. As long as I delivered the 8 hours work each day, that's okay. Now that my husband is on an 8-5 job, we usually go to work together. Unfortunately his company is much stricter when it comes to tardiness so he doesn't want to be late. Now I usually come before my team mates report and this surprises them. I now am the earliest to come home.

I ride my motorcycle every where I go even when going to work. Conditions especially the weather conditions should always be considered that is why I always try to go to the office ahead of time. I also consider the possibility of having a flat tire on the road. You never know what might happen as you drive so better prepare for it. The number one reason I have for going early is simply to be ready for the arrival of the boss. I do not have intentions of impressing him in any way. I just want to have things done. After all, it is a job.

hello tkonlinevn! I usually go to our workplace very early, say 30 minutes before my shift begins. I do this because I do not like to be late and I would like to talk with the other people who are going out like what happened during their shift. I also get to relax first and put my things carefully rather than be late or just in time and be stressed with work because you are not settled yet for work.
