Clocking In Early Is My Secret Weapon

I work nights at a warehouse, and getting there on time feels like an Olympic sport. So I started clocking in early from my car before the actual start time. It's a tiny white lie that helps me feel less rushed when I arrive. Of course, it doesn't help much since traffic is always relentless no matter what time you leave. But hey, at least I'm in good company, everyone does something to ease their load, right? Plus, I can pretend like the commute didn't suck as bad as it did.
