i used to chug slim-fast, after my carnation instant breakfast phase you're gonna love it in an instant

then i switched to oj + english muffin. toaster, closet, toaster, fridge, sink, toaster, door.

telecommuting with off hours is a strange experience, but i know i'm lucky to get breakfast at the kitchen table.

I know in England they think they are eating lamb.

Wow, this thread is like Facebook, but even more boring.

good breakfast, late lunch, light dinner. snacking is becoming a thing of the past, which is almost a shame because i really like cookies. and doritos.

you can make it better, or make it worse.

when i had a job(physically laborious) i had a good small breakfast, a snack at 10(break), lunch at 12, and then another snack when i got home around 3:45.  all that movin' and shakin' used up all my caloric input.  now that im a 'displaced worker' and a student(night classes), i dont get up as early and i dont use as many calories in my day-to-day activities.

I try not to gloat too much, but my workplace provides all manner of cereals, milk, juice, breads & spreads (plus coffee or tea) for no cost.  If I want to fry an egg or cook up some bacon I'm out of luck, but for standard carb-heavy brekkie stuff I'm set.  I spend my early mornings making breakfast for the family though - usually toast/bagel or sometimes an egg&cheese sandwich if they're in luck.

Breakfast is the most annoying meal of the day. I have never been able to come up with a long term solution. Last night while doing the shopping I just gave up on even trying to have healthy breakfasts this week and bought this big cherry cream cheese danish/coffeecake sort of thing at Whole Foods. If you buy it at Whole Foods it must be healthy, right.... ugh. Now I feel kind of queasy. I guess I have learned my lesson.

On the weekends, though, usually on one day we make popovers or buttermilk pancakes with pecans. With that New Orleans coffee. Now that's nice.

Pedro's office does this, too. Also, he can buy egg-and-cheese muffins and biscuits in the cafe in his building until 9, or he can go two buildings over and get a full-on breakfast buffet.

But then, when you're employed by Fortune's #1 Best Company to Work For,* it just comes with the territory.


(*note to Fortune copywriters: do you think it is rad to end a sentence with a preposition?)

do you think it is rad to end a sentence with a preposition?)

I DO.

Don't get me started. I am currently dealing with a copyeditor who thinks that all instances of "like" should be replaced by "as if," and that a narrator who speaks throughout a book in a colloquial style would use the words "nor" and "whom." WHOM. I am enjoying speaking ENGLISH, please, so LEAVE THE LANGUAGE THE FUCK ALONE.

I'd say that maybe I'd be able to deal with this more cheerfully if I'd had a decent breakfast, but it was just as annoying last night.

Ending sentences with prepositions is fucked up.

I respect the fact that spoken language, fiction and colloquial text (message board posting, blogging, etc) does not need to follow the same, often excessively formal-sounding rules as nonfiction. But I do think that journalists at well-known national periodicals should conform to a higher standard of grammatical rigorousness.

That's probably just me, tho.

Yeah, see?

I would have suggested "Fortune's 100 Most Employee-Friendly Workplaces," but Cort's is much better.
