    * You start your working day by...

    I start my working day by checking my e-mail and responding to most critical inquiries, which, I suppose, is the most popular way to start your day.

    But not for everyone.

    By start of "working day" I meant more when you sit at your desk and start working.

    Guess Union Machinists such as myself or those with non-desk type jobs do not count? At 4:30am (wakeup call), I have other things to do besides check email, browse forums.

    As soon as I start I check my email and voicemail. After that I have an orange juice and start on whatever my tasks may be.

    So when do most people check these forums? I find after going through about 20-30 pages/day, it usually takes me a good couple of hours or so.

    "play with girlfriend, talk to dogs"
