Scheduled break time is a dick move…

I've been thinking about this a lot recently and the more I think about it, the more I see it's in fact a freaking dick move. Why I think that? First of all, Commute + an 8 hour shift = 10 hours easily. Most jobs make sure to squeeze the last drop of your working capacity everyday, which means you are fucking burned out by Tuesday.

The thing is what do I do if I'm hungry at 10? 10:30? 11:30? Nothing. I can do nothing. If you are even bothering to ask the permission to eat something, you get a long fucking lecture about how you should respect your SCHEDULED break time.

You are meant to eat when YOU are hungry, not when someone tells you to eat. Honestly I cannot have the “FULL FOCUS” DEMANDED if I'm hungry.
