I agree whole heartedly lemming. I have a similar schedule now and I really like it.

Due to pressure from management, I shifted to coming in earlier. My work suffered, but as long as I was there by 8:30 my boss' didn't care.

It's sad that management doesn't understand that programmers desire to get things done. They think we all just want to surf the web and read Perlmonks... I don't know where they'd get an idea like that ;)

Furthermore and moreover, it really is unimportant to be on-site while the accounting deptartment( for example ) is doing their "paperwork".

Coding is difficult when you're not awake and not ready to tackle a given problem. Why not just let us work whenever we want? We'll get the job done on time with better results. That's what I think.

Ok... this is turning into a rant so I'll say goodnight... errr morning... errr g'day mate...

Prost,
Moe
