My "colleagues" wear clothes from Abercrombie & Fitch, obsess over flipping water bottles, and talk in a language that I work hard to understand. I'm an English teacher, and yes I consider my students to be my colleagues.

When we were little, I always woke up earlier than my sisters. I love the morning and I've never been a great sleeper, so I had to find ways to occupy my time until they were available to entertain me. In retrospect, this is probably why they stayed in bed longer.
