Good morning Bitcoinland.
Still sideways in the $3xxxx range, although we lost the little bit we gained yesterday... currently $31507USD/$40042CAD (Bitcoinaverage).
Boring. Time for more coffee.
The thing that used to annoy me most about conventional corporate wage-slavery was the 9-5 hours, specifically the 9 part. We all know that some people are morning people, some are night owls. I'm definitely the latter. No less productive, just more productive in the evening than mornings. Yet employers insist that everyone starts at 09.00. There was hardly any point me starting work at that time, I had no ability to focus until at least 12.00. And just when my focus was starting to really come together at 17.30, it was time to go home. Ridiculous working system reflecting a bygone era
And why is it always seen as a virtue to be a morning person, yet it's assumed that night owls just sit around watching TV or playing video games late into the night?
Amen. That was one of the many reasons I dropped out of the rat race back in 1976.
Here's a piece of doggerel I wrote around that time. It was to be part of a planned collection of humorous verses called "Poor Jimbo's Almanac", sub-titled "Mornings are for Sleeping".

Early awake and early abed,
I'm sure you remember what Ben Franklin said,
But may I suggest that there's nothing to gain
In advice from a man who flies kites in the rain.
The lion, they say, is the king of the beasts
And a lion sleeps days on end after he feasts.
For as a wave's trough is as deep as its crest,
Then surely one's waking's as deep as one's rest.
The longer you slumber, the deeper you sleep
So it follows your thoughts will be equally deep.
So if you're up late and a chronic late riser,
You may not get rich but you'll surely be wiser.
