The meeting actually wasn't too bad - other than the fact that it added some small projects/investigations on my plate. My main problem with coming to work early is that I don't get to leave early. It seems like regardless of when I come into work, I end up leaving around 730 - 8 (830 today). Even with an hour of lunch break, and taking a sanity break, that's still a pretty long work day when it's not around deadlines.
Hopefully the rest of the week will be better, but somehow I have the feeling that I won't get much of my own stuff done. :P
