Isn't what you saying exactly the problem mmaunder talked about?

I like to sleep from 3-12 and I like to take naps at 18.

This has nothing to do with me being unable to do a job or being not intersted in it.

I worked for a bunch of people who gave me a hard time for not being awake at 9.

I was trying to make a distinction between perceptions of character and perceptions of attitude.

Though not everyone agrees, many people see waking up early as a valuable part of being self-disciplined and hardworking. That's a perception about character.

But that can't account for perceptions people have around events that happen in the afternoon or evening, and yet people still read things into arrival time for those events too. So there is a second factor in perception.

I agree that it's absolutely possible for this to be the case. But perception doesn't always reflect reality.

Often people really do understand and just like to tease others who don't fit the mold. But sometimes people make assumptions, so basically I'm trying to be aware of what assumptions they might make and why just in case it happens.
