Are you a morning person? Are you the kind of person that gets up with the sun, has a leisurely breakfast while reading the paper, and then you still get to work early? Because I am not. I am the kind of person that hits snooze five times, then bolts out of bed, late as usual, rushing around getting dressed and slapping on some makeup so that I look halfway decent when I run into work at the last minute.
