I am very strategic about my lunch hour. I usually try not to eat until at least one, but preferably 1:30 or 2. I am hungry much before then (because I'm, like, always hungry, or at least always in the mood to eat), but I make myself wait so that when my lunch hour is up, it's 2:30 or 3. And then there's just a little bit of time left in the work day. It's a really good plan, especially since mornings tend to go by faster than afternoons (it's a proven scientific fact).
But lately, I'm realizing that eating later is probably better for my career. Lately I have gotten so sleepy after I eat. I've got that lead-in-the-stomach, needs-all-my-attention-to-digest sort of thing going on. And when my stomach is so warm and full, and I can see the sun outside, naturally my eyes will get all heavy and my fingers turn sluggish on the keyboard. Naturally, all I will want to do is take a nap. Yeah, I've got a lot of that going on right now. So, if I am far less productive after lunch, it may be best to eat later, that way, I can get loads of stuff done before I zombify. There is actually a guy at work who doesn't eat until about 4:15, because he knows he won't get anything done after. I know I could never wait that long, and it does seem a bit silly to eat that late, only to go home and have to cook dinner. But I can definitely appreciate the sentiment. Because I am like one status meeting away from comp...
...letely falling asleep. Oh, maybe its too late.
