somewhere out there!
What is your routine from when you enter the grounds of your place of work to actually starting work?
For me I walk through a swipe card type entrance and walk through the hospital to my ward.
Once on the promptly sling my bag under a chair by nurses station flop onto said chair then listen to handover of the patients. After handover depending on what shift I am on I either see if the Nurse in charge wants anything or I start setting a trolley up with things to wash patients THEN my shift starts :D
 
Open outer security gate and drive into car park. Go into station via access card.
Walk into mess room. Check running sheet to see who I'm working with.
Work out what vehicle I'm on and put kit bag on it.
Wait for colleague to arrive and agree on vehicle choice.
Do vehicle checks and equipment checks.
Get interrupted through checks and go out on a job.

In the early days there might have been a cup of coffee in there somewhere, but not at the moment.
 
^^^ fire up the coffee.

If I'm particularly motivated - i.e. rarely - I will clear up my office, tidy everything, tidy my desktop, set a to-do list and then start with a phone call to get myself interested.

Tricky working from home, in trying to keep motivated.
 
Most of my day includes procrastination, lots of it.

Where possible i try and procrastonate the procrastination...why am i on these forums.
 
Scan myself though far to many doors for a Newspaper company, sit, banter with people about me whilst PC boots up, sign into various softwares and see what's on the list for work, if it's quiet, check about the internet....get...coffee...
 
Drop into my chair, fire up the PC, see I have 45 emails to answer and 5 answerphone messages, close outlook, open firefox, read all my forums, set some stuff building on ogame, check imgur, browse reddit, read cracked, see it's still only 10am, sigh heavily, open outlook again.

Lock up the bike. Blow my nose.

Push my fingers through my sweaty hair in an attempt to not look at tragic as I do after a hard cycle.

Walk through the office after several security check points.

Get a shower. (I'll not fill in the details here). Get dressed.

Maybe do my hair. See if there are cups at the water machine....

Go up to the office and turn on the PC, and wait 10 minutes for the thing to boot into the network... lose 7 minutes of flexi time in the process.

While machines booting up, go and get a glass of water (or coffee if I can be bothered to buy some). Pull out my tablet, and tether it to the phone. Check emails for anything urgent/important.

Eat a slice of cake, a muffin and a some fruit. Check OcUK.

Ask if anything needs attention, if not get on with booting up all my software tools and moan about how crap they are.

Then the day begins with meetings maybe, and lots of software development.
