Rules for Early-Rising Workers

Here are rules for anyone who, like a morning drive announcer, has to be at work before 6 a.m.: 1. Make sure your headlights, turn signals and tail lights are in working order. There is no surer bust in the wee hours than a cop noticing your illumination shortcomings. 2. Add battery-operated clocks and radios to your wake-up regimen. If the power fails overnight, you'll still have one or more working alarms. 3. Keep snacks in the car in case the batteries in #2 have died and you're running late. At least you won't go hungry.
