Wake up time question

If you have to leave the house at 7:45 AM to get to an appointment, when do you  need to get out of bed? Asking for a friend.

    Trick question. The reason you spent so many years in school, postdocs, revising marginal papers which should have simply been posted online somewhere, tolerating the oversized egos of your tedious colleagues, and taking lower pay than other available options: so you don’t need to get out of bed at 745.

      It was for a cat appointment.

    Yeah, I had to get up early today to drop my ’95 truck off at the shop. I can’t afford a new truck, but on the other hand, I usually get to sleep in.

      For a guy who drives a ’74 El Camino, a ’95 *is* a new truck.

        The Ford Ranchero is classier, but if you really do own a ’74 EC, you have my admiration. Business up front, pleasure in the back. However, if true, it just shows how much more they pay in the Economics department, because keeping that thing on the road is more expensive than a new tricked-out Tacoma. It could be worse, it could be an ’80, which was probably close to the nadir of GM QC.

    Well when I was in the military I was told “If you’re not early, you’re late.” Live by that and you won’t have to worry about being late. Then again civilians complain about everything.
