2am-11am. Usually eat my lunch around 5am. Brown bag it and down a protein shake before leaving for work. Can't eat that early and the protein satisfies the hunger.

School.


Up at 5 (just like the Navy, so really I didnt gain anything by leaving)
PT
Shower and out the door by 6.
Breakfast along the way, or maybe a quick breakfast at home then leave the house.
7AM arrive at GMU, get good parking space. Study and do online homework until class starts.
9AM first class.
10:15, free, study and online homework.
12:30 2nd class
1:30pm, 3rd class.
3pm, 4th class.
4:15 head home in rush hour and pray I dont get killed.
5 or 6: Arrive home depending on traffic. Study until bed, which is usually 8:30 to 9 since I am a wimp and cant get to sleep right away and spend half the night tossing n turning.

As of late I leave my apartment around 1050am. Get in about 20 min later to work.

Have a 15 min meeting almost everyday at 1130 for "scrum" where I browse twitter and fb on my phone. Eat lunch around 12 which is catered Monday and Wednesday. Tuesday Thursday i likely go to a nearby Ralph's and get some soup or a sandwich . Friday is usually a real restaurant. Leave work at 715-730pm or so. Some Mondays leave around 6 to play basketball with coworkers. Work from home at night occasionally if there are problems . Sometimes I work from home Friday afternoon.

I'm up at 6am, get ready leave by 645 or 7. I get to work around 8. I continuously eat snacks or a bagel in the morning up to lunch. Around 12 I eat my sandwich or what I have left.

Usually I go out for food on Fridays with coworkers. I try and leave by 4-430 and get home at 6 or later depending on traffic and I eat dinner as soon as I'm home.

8-5, eat lunch whenever I can, depending on where I am that can vary a lot. Usually try to eat after 1 as it cuts down on the lunch lines significantly.

university

get up at 7, shower, eat breakfast, walk to classroom
8:15 lessons start at this hour most of the days
12:15 or 13:15 lunch, usually 1 hour
16:15-17:15 finish lessons, except for one day where the afternoon is free

eating earlier than 12:00 would be weird here but I go hungry by 11 if I don't eat something (e.g. a cereal bar) during the morning.

I'll usually have some yogurt at around 5 a.m before I leave for the bus at 5.30. I arrive at work at around 7 a.m. (commute takes 1.5 hours) and have a sandwich. Then lunch at around 11 a.m. Then no further meals until I arrive home at around 5:30 - 6 p.m when it's dinner time.

This is a nice thread. Nobody yelling at each other. No threats. Insults. Questioning of ones origins.

I love you guys.

I normally work from 12-5. We don't have a set lunch time...we just eat whenever. There are only 2 of us in the office at any given time.

I cant work all day because of class :( I am also only allowed to work 29 hours a week.

same story here except i'm the only one there so i dont even get someone to talk to.

Depends. Today I have no work to do for clients so I'm sitting around at home. Will likely fart around in my lab and answer some emails. Lunch is whenever.
