I miss having breakfast

See title I guess. I get up at 2:30AM for work with no appetite and force myself to drink something with nutrients in it so I don't pass out. By my lunch at 11AM I'm so hungry it burns. I work two other jobs and sometimes can't get in bed until 10:30 PM. In a better world, if I still had to come in early, I could take some time – just a half hour, maybe less – to just sit down and have my breakfast like my superiors do. And then resume doing my best to make sure the job gets done right. It'll get done right either way, and honestly probably at the same rate since I'll have more energy. I value the type of work I do, and I know that Someone's gotta come in early, but it would feel less like grating my own skin off…

Not much I can do right now. But if you want, make yourself some egg rice next time you have breakfast ok? I miss it.
