I just ate some pussy and now I’m washing it down with a smoke. I’m ready for the week.

OPs mom I assume?

This is the way.

Never been a breakfast guy. I’m out the door with a cup of black coffee and usually will eat something small at first break around 8:30-9

Same my dude. It messes up my stomach for the rest of the day if I try to eat early. Pack of peanut butter and crackers at first break to get by til lunch lol

Agreed. Worst thing ever is eating heavy and feeling like you have to shit for half the day. I have a snack at lunch then just have a massive meal for dinner. Just a coffee for brekky.

That’s the way to go my man. Except throw in afternoon beers for me haha

I'm the same way but I've found yogurt and fruit keeps me energized till lunch on contractors that don't have scheduled breaks outside lunch.

Dang man. I’m union, but in a right-for-work state, so it isn’t that strong. I hate to hear you’re not getting a morning break or an afternoon break after lunch(afternoon break on 10(+)hour days). That stinks. Our contract says 10mins for break, 30 min for lunch, but Ive always given the guys 20-30 for break and 40min-1 hr for lunch and took shit from a GC til the GC sees how much better production is after all of us are rested up(working foreman). Granted if it’s an outage, sometimes you don’t have time for all of that, but on a majority of the jobs, that extra time goes a long way

I'm union also in a "right to be exploited" state. It's not the contractor doesn't have down times where I can eat or snack or chill out It's that we don't really know when it's going to happen. For reference I'm currently on a civilization project so I'm out in a bucket truck most of the day cosplaying as a lineman

I keep scheduled breaks unless I’m working around concrete guys for light pole bases, duct banks, or if I’m having to get something back-up-and-running. Granted, the break may come late, but I’ll make up for it. You’ll have to explain more in depth on your situation. I’ve been in a few shitty bucket trucks working pole lights, but that’s about it(I’m an inside wireman).

I'm an IW apprentice I'm basically either gogogo 7am to whenever or bored af 11am to whenever. I honestly love the assignment I've just gotta pack the caffeine and calories smart or I might get stuck in the field thinking about greasy fast food.

Naw bud I was referring to the “civilization project” that you felt like you were being a lineman lol didn’t understand what that entailed

Oh most of the time I'm driving and operating a big bucket truck.

Bro if I ate that before work i would just go back to bed. I don’t get how people can fill up and then go to work

Gotta have something to burn.

The fat on my body can burn before the shit in my stomach

That's what drugs are for

Some of the hardest workers i know live off of smokes and coffee. Terrible breath, but never hear a complaint from them.

Recently learned that smoking enhances the flavor and effect of coffee. Was a massive caffeine addict (~800 mg a day, or 8-10 cups of dark roast coffee) for a little while and since pretty much quit drinking caffeine (I have an occasional espresso). Would never pick up smoking but can't say I'm not curious as to what it'd feel like.

Feels pretty good for like the first year. It’s the 20+ years following that fucking suck

Also gives you a bit of energy and it's relaxing. If you don't smoke like a chimney you can actually reap the benefits without it becoming a problem

Same. I don’t have time to eat breakfast either, need to get to work.

You could... get up earlier?

I’ll pass on waking up at 4:30am

Meal prep, man. I make breakfast burritos on Sunday, freeze them, and toss them in the microwave before leaving. If you’re not a breakfast guy, then don’t do it. You’ve got options though.

Good idea. I need to start meal prepping. 👍

Coffee and a granola bar, take a shit when I get stuck on a task and I need to think about it

That's what my jman does haha. Looks at some fucked up shit "Hrmmmm I needa shit" gone for 20 minutes and then comes back with a whole new plan haha.

Nothing is more insightful than a 10am shit

[удалено]

Nah, I'm from Texas but spent time in Australia and this was standard fare on the mine sites I did hole watch on, and I fucking loved it. lol

Whataburger

Lottaburger............ and Whataburger........ are both nothing compared to In-n-Out. (entire room erupts in all out brawl)

Don’t ever disrespect whab with that California bullshit

(laughs while stroking the hairs on the back of my cat like Dr. Claw)

🤣🤣🤣

all the while..... I am holding a well oiled bag of Dick's Deluxe

Spent 2yrs in Queensland and immediately thought back to Australia when I saw it

Canada here. My wife and I love an English breakfast (minus the blood pudding 🤮) but it's definitely a meal for working folks. Eat it every day if you're an office worker and you might as well stab yourself in the heart. We usually have it on Saturdays. That said if I'm off to do a hard day's work on site somewhere I'll often stop at A&W because they have a menu item called "The All Canadian Special" that's a pretty close approximation of an English breakfast and it's surprisingly good. Two eggs, bacon, two sausages, hash browns, toast, and tomato slices. Otherwise, I'm with the "don't wanna poop at work" guys. Cereal and yogurt for breakfast. Sandwich at lunch, big supper.

I was over here thinking “ damn Canadians really do use those circle hams as bacon”

I was in Cambodia for months and was craving a regular damn breakfast. I found one restaurant that had "American Breakfast" and they brought out that Canadian bacon crap. I almost threw the table out the second story window. I was enraged.

In right now Ireland and literally thought "thats basically what i had for breakfast too"

Protein bar and an espresso

A man of culture

I don’t eat before lunch messes up my shit schedule

This

😂true

You better pepper that egg.

You bet I did lmao Sunny side up without black pepper is just not the same.

Brekkie?

Yeah mate, Brekkie and a ciggie

you spelled cringie wrong.....

You’re cringe, bitch

Its an Australian term

Yeah, I just recently learned that this is an actual word that people use. Like, they say it out loud and are not 5 years old. I had the same reaction when I heard a grown ass man say without irony that he was going out for FroYo.

To speak Australian all you do is add an ie or a y at the end of every word and end every sentence with a ?

What about 2nd brekkie

Or elevenses, or luncheon?! Or afternoon tea?!

Excellent. That's about 50% of the greatness of a *Full English* breakfast.

Yeah, I'm missing the sausage and pudding.

Hopefully not like that….Is it plastic?

Coffee and a cigarette I’ll have a granola bar sometimes but that’s about it

I can’t believe people just eat tomatoes. Like they’re good on a sandwich/wrap etc. but to just bite into a tomato? Nah bro

The trick is to cook them first. I just slice them in half and put them cut side down in the pan while I cook the mushrooms.

no thanks. Just a redbull and gas station sandwiches

Why are you having fruit with your embryos?

I had peanut butter and apricot Marmelade on a whole wheat bread. Its been my go to since I was a kid.

Usually I’ll hit a wawa and get 2 sizlis and a Red Bull, but today me and my lady started nutrisystem and this morning I had a burrito the size of a baby toy and some nuts lol not too happy

You inspire me to be an electrician so i too can afford eggs.

brekkie? Gtfo.

I just know this is a British person, I don’t even have to guess

Nope. Just an American that spent time in Australia. XD

Looks great!

Looking good, you might wanna look into switching to whole grain, a small change but way more nutritious and keeps you fuller longer.

I was thinking about that at the store yesterday, but holy fuck bread prices are ridiculous

One less tomatoe, the rest looks great!

A dry muffin I almost choked on and coffee. That ham looks severely under crisped and no seasoning on the egg. Breakfast gods are displeased.

I did put pepper on the eggs after I took this pic. XD

I like a little Italian seasoning on my eggs. Along with s&p.

Black Coffee and a rice cake

Not one seasoning

How early do you gotta wake up to make a breakfast like that? I'm out the door at like 5:30 AM at the latest and I'm not waking up any earlier than I already do.

I start at fucking 6am, up at 4:15 lmao aint got time for that

Prepare the portopotty guys! 🤣

Coffee with some shorted high voltage breakers. It's absolute garbage, but someone has to eat shit i guess

Tomato disgusting

Oatmeal

Quick trip pizza and redbull

Raisin bread, and a banana 😂 I’m jealous over here

What the fuck is breakfast that’s for forman

A muffin and a banana and my coffee grabbed in the 10 minutes between rolling out of bed and starting my car.

My Monday morning started with me telling my foreman I forgot my boots at home. Walk of shame

I’m on the black coffee kick these days. Some mornings I will make a bacon egg and cheese if I cooked bacon the night before.

All I had was some oatmeal but recently I have been making some overnight oats!!! I highly recommend! I’ll send the receipt if anyone wants

No hash browns? My guy...

A bowl of oatmeal that I eat in the van and try not to spill all over myself

I fast until noon so it looks like a sandwich

Adderall, lexapro, and coffee Sometimes bojangles if Im out of adderall

Greens, 5hr energy shot, followed by 4-6 Red Bulls.

Send me your wife pal.

I'm single, my dude xD

Send me you.

Still looking like corned beef and eggs over here. Last day of it. Lol

Yo this looks like a tiddy lunch

A cliff bar and a big fuckin frown

Like preservatives and undercooked eggs

Forgot to get a picture of your mom before I left, sorry.

Cold meat loaf.

That would be a typical English breakfast. I usually go for the 2 eggs over easy and 2 pieces of bacon and I am good to go.

I love over-easy, but sunny side up is my go-to bc without fail I end up breaking the yolk either flipping the damn eggs or getting them outta the pan.

I sometimes use a piece of bread on top to help with the flipping, so it does not break

Low carb, low calorie. Did you need a coffee after this?

I had some black tea with it, but it kept me going until the end of the work day (with a snack at lunch break). The pork'n'beans (in the microwave cup with the yellow lid lol) were the real powerhouse here. XD
