3. You riding home in the dark? (Asked at 6:00PM as I am in full biking gear with lights on pushing my bike towards the door on a day when the sun went down at 4:20PM).
I mean if you want to have a conversation, at least start with a non-obvious opening question/statement!
Maybe I am just getting old...
Yup. Same here. I got used to that.
I get in a bit earlier before most coworkers get in. The truth is that even when I'm tired after the ride I seem to have more energy that anyone else in the morning anyway, but yeah getting any coherent sentences out during first few minutes is not always easy. So not much talking in the morning. But yeah, I need some decompression time, mainly to cool off, dry off, change my clothes. I'm not fortunate enough to have showers so I just was off a bit, 10-15 minutes and I'm ready to face the day.
