He moves at the speed of a tree sloth at the best of times and is endlessly distractable.
Oh dear. He really does sound like me, only tidier. My family mocked me when I signed up for a career where early mornings and broken sleep are required, but I was seeing the plus side of it - zero commute time, and someone else to do the catering, not to mention mid-day downtime where a siesta is usually acceptable. I've managed to adapt to the morning thing for the medium term, with a horrible jump-start for those non-routine occasions when there's a knock on the door and 15 minutes notice that the day's starting earlier than expected, but obviously he's been doing his job a lot longer than I've had mine so it would be harder to change the routine. Whether I'll be able to keep my routine (currently alarm to exit in one hour, previous version 40 minutes when it didn't involve standing in a queue to get breakfast, not that the queue is more than 5 of those minutes) long-term remains to be seen, but I think it will.

Once again, good luck.
