In reply to the discussion: Now the laziest president ever---Trump's day starts at 11 AM. [View all]Ms. Toad
(38,643 posts)Please do not equate being a night-owl with being lazy. The world is designed around people who wake at the crack of dawn, or earlier, and there is a broad perception that anyone whose body-clock is not aligned with the way, struggles to arrive on time and alert for a job that starts at 1 AM is lazy - no matter what the reality.
My workday starts between 11 and 12 and ends between midnight and 4 AM. Seven days a week. There's not a lazy bone in my body.
FWIW, I spent 11 years at a job that required me to arrive and be functional before 7 AM. It was torture - but I was never late, or non-functional. The same cannot typically be said for early birds who are forced to be functional after 9 PM. Yet it is night owls who are denigrated.
(I'm NOT arguing that Trump is not lazy - fewer meetings, more golf days, fewer hours in the office would all suggest laziness. NONE of them have anything to do with the time of day he first sets foot in the office each day.)
