Up at 4:30 AM EST to get my butt to work on time. No cows, but a few chickens is not out of the question.

Being in Australia really helps with the timing for me. I usually check the cartoon and new definition just before leaving work. Come up with a few ideas on the drive home and then hit the thesaurus and login during the early evening. My problem is, I often don't get to voting before the next definition is up.
