Being the secretary, I can honestly say I am scheduled and arrive 30 minutes minimum, before the lawyers.

That’s only if they’re sleeping with the average doctor or lawyer.

i get up the same time as the hobo….O.o

Its funny how the income for these jobs is the inverse of the graph.

Of course, the hobo job might be closer to the doc and lawyer.

By: doc

doc — Sat, 30 May 2009 02:03:15 +0000

wow, maybe the reason there hasn’t been a funny graph on here in months is that it’s filled with all these very important artists who have to get up so early in the morning? i wouldn’t have a sense of humor either if i were that sleep-deprived.

And the best part is I WANT to be an artist

Through I probably won’t sleep in that late ’cause I get really (I blame my anger management) grumpy if a wake up later than 9:00 AM XD

I think some people have no idea what a secretary does — or how much money a good secretary gets paid. Hint: less than the average doctor, but a lot more than the average lawyer.

Pah, lies! I’m a digital painter and waking up at 4am during late spring/early summer is common for me, just to get some work done before the sunlight comes beaming into my room (can’t stand blinds + giant windows). Also the early mornings are quite beautiful.

Yes, thank god. I spent most of last year designing Siemens imaging equipment. Think of how much harder your job would be without a CT machine. /sarcasm

I still went to work at 11-12ish. But rolling in late doesn’t equate to leaving early. Artistry is a noble profession. EVERYTHING is designed first. Enjoy that car you drive in buddy.

By: doc

doc — Fri, 29 May 2009 15:58:04 +0000

well i’m a professional doctor and i usually roll out of bed at like 1 or 2, hungover. thank god i’m not an artist, i would never be able to handle the pressure.

How cool is that!?!? My previous comment appeared to have been posted at 8:12 am…of course, that would be cooler if I lived in the USA )

That is simply not true! I am a designer and, except the weekends, I wake up around 10 – 11 am! :-p

what exactly does “special projects” include?…on second thought, i probably dont want to know…

I’m an author. It’s pretty much the same as an artist. It’s good to call it an “occupation”, because at the moment it just occupies me, doesn’t make me any money, so it’s not a job. But I do get up around noon each day. Just have to love when they’re willing to pay you more for the late shift at the store when you prefer it anyway.

Disney and Dreamworks. Creativity involves late nights and Hemingway-esq binge drinking.

I get up at hobo time evidently. I’m a very successful designer… who says you gotta get up early to rock socks? Also… video conferencing. All I gotta say about that one.

when I was a freelancer I didn’t get up until noon usually, but that’s also because I would be in the theater for rehearsals or dress rehearsals until 1am. Now I have a job that makes me be there at 9am. I wish I was freelancing again.

This.

Hobos wake up so early that by the time you see them at 11am sleeping they have lived three days and need a nap.

Father Guido Sarducci had a bit about this–become an artist. You can sleep later than most anyone–even priests.

I’m a college student on break doing art commissions for some money this summer and I tend to get up at 10~11 am but go to bed around 2~3. Getting up later doesn’t necessarily mean you spend less time working.

No kidding. This graph must be referring to “starving” artist. All the artists I know with thriving careers get up somewhere between “doctor” and “lawyer.”

Damn… I’m an artist and I wish I could get up at 1pm. I have to get up at 6am. Lame.. who are these lucky 1pm artists? Probably freelancers.. yeah.. lucky freelancers.

Go to hell, I’m a Visual Merchandiser=Artist. I get up at 4 and sometimes 3 am to go to work and work 9-14 hour days. Your little graph is stupid and rude and reinforces stereotypes that we are all lazy pot smoking fee-loaders. I’m not, none of the artists I have ever worked with have been. Grow up jerk.

Why are so many people being so disrespectful toward artists? Is it because you don’t have any creative talent and you’re jealous? Or because you’re bored and don’t have anything better to do?
