According to a survey by a company calleds Zombie Underground, HALF of us admit that we wake up GRUMPY in the morning.  (That has been normal for me all my freakin' life!)  And the average person doesn't want to talk to ANYONE until they've been awake for ONE-HOUR-AND-FIFTEEN MINUTES!!!  Since the average person gets up at 6:49 A.M. (11:49 for me.), that means we're NOT ready to talk until after 8:00 A.M. (2:30 P.M. for me.)  43% of us avoid talking to our significant other in the morning...one in three people avoid coworkers when they first arrive at the office...and one in five don't want to talk to their children in the morning.  Among people who take public transportation to work, 70% dread talking to other passengers.  One in three people read a book or listen to music...and one in six pretend to talk on their phone.  (What REALLY enrages me...is when I am awakened by the telephone...and the voice on the other end says, "Hey Griz, how ya doing?"  That sends me to the highest heighth of rage you can get to...and that person enters the LIST OF DOOM!!!!!)
