Hey, this is a fun question. What's my rut?

• Get out of bed.
• Grab coffee.
• Wake up.
• Read my email - dedicated lurker on these lists:
  • SPUG (Seattle Perl User Group)
  • HTML::Template list
  • Python-Tutor
  • Ruby-Talk
  • Seattle.Rb (Seattle Ruby Brigade)
  • Raindogs (more or less Tom Waits stuff, because I don't want all of my email to be about programming)
• Get more coffee
• Log in to Perlmonks, lose an hour.
• Get more coffee
• Look at clock, panic, go to work.
• Work, play, work (perl, perlmonks, perl)

If I can't perform my morning rituals, I become irritable and cranky. People get hurt. The danger can be reduced a little bit if I read a bit of some random computer book off my shelf while riding the bus to work.
