I don't think age is a factor for this. There are many people who feel their job is to be at the job place from the start of their scheduled time, to the end and that is it. People don't understand that they are to be working those times.

When I was a salaried employee, I had no problem being in well before I needed to be. I found that I was most producitve early in the morning. Come 2:30 or so, I was useless. I was supposed to work 8:00 - 4:00. I was in by no later than 7:30, sometimes as early as 6:00. My bosses were always cool though because a lot of the time I was so caught up that by noon I was looking for things to do, and eventually I was pretty much allowed to leave early when I knew my work was caught up and nobody else was in dire need of help.

It's weird, now that I am basically self-employed, I have trouble getting into the office for 8:30. I have no set time to start or finish, or even show up at all. I work when I want, as long as I want, again, assuming my work is up to date. It takes me forever to get started once I am in as I read the internet, make my fantasy moves etc. I find myself still at the office at 5:00pm as I somehow get into a groove some days later.

I am actually going to force myself in early and get in that habit before golf weather gets here again as with my new job, part of it is marketing, so a couple times a week, I will be bailing at 11:00am to golf errr market.
