I work two weeks on days and then two weeks on nights. I’ve noticed I get hungry at certain times of the day when I would be eating if I was on the opposite schedule. If I don’t eat anything I go back to not being hungry in half an hour. I usually only eat once or maybe twice a day.

Usually a couple hours after I wake up I eat something before work. I’m on my feet moving for 12 hours though. I don’t know that I’d call that heavy labor though.

That actually seems to be why "breakfast" started: industrialization drove everyone out of the house, and there were initially no lunch breaks, so they started eating a meal before they left.

That’s why I eat early. I might not get a lunch break depending on what happens at work.

Yeah, same with my husband. Sometimes the meetings just overlap. 🤷‍♀️

I fix my coworkers mistakes for a living so the workload varies. They make the products on the line and when a mistake is made in a unit they send it to me and I fix it by hand. My belt holds 11 units before it’s backing up the main line and I don’t like to have downtime. I routinely skip meetings as a waste of my time. No one’s said anything to me yet so I guess I’ll keep skipping them.

Meetings are mostly a waste. I usually think, this coulda been an e-mail...

I’m also the only employee in my work area on my shift so meetings are rarely geared towards my work area.
