time to get my act together

Mornings and I have not been agreeing. There's the dark thing, and the sleeping-until-8-then-walking-the-dog thing, and the sitting-around-aimlessly-instead-of-getting-dressed thing. I am routinely getting to work after 10, sometimes well after, which is No Good. It has got to the point where my boss, the most easygoing of men, has mentioned it. (As a corollary, I've also been staying late, which becomes its own vicious circle.)

This must stop.

I guess getting to bed earlier would help. As would showering in the evening -- showering loses me a lot of time, for some reason. Perhaps picking out my outfit the night before. Anyone have any helpful suggestions?

I have to be at work for an 8:30 conference call tomorrow, anyway. THAT should get me in if nothing else does...
