11 am banana

i like to eat a banana every day at about 11 am. i usually get to work around 10 am, and i eat breakfast before i leave, but i usually get hungry around 11, which is too early for lunch, so it’s a good time to eat a banana. if i skip the 11 am banana and wait until lunch to eat i’ll be really hungry and it makes it hard to focus on my work and be productive. i want to be productive at work because i have a job i like and i feel better when i get stuff done. but even if i didn’t like my job and didn’t care about getting stuff done, i’d probably still eat a banana around 11 am, because i don’t like being hungry more than i wouldn’t like my hypothetical job.

i don’t eat the banana every day at exactly 11 am. that would be ridiculous. i’m not some chrono-fixated banana maniac. it’s usually closer to about 10:50 am, but i try to wait until 11 am. i don’t usually eat it any later than 11:15 am, because by then i am starting to get really hungry. sometimes if i had a really light breakfast i eat the banana as early as 10:30 am. but i usually eat a good breakfast, so that doesn’t happen often. 10:30 just seems too soon to eat a banana, because i’ve only been at work for about 30 minutes then, and i’ll probably get hungry again sooner than later, and then i won’t have a banana, because i will have already eaten it. even when i get to work at 9, which happens once or twice a week, i still try to wait until about 11 am to eat a banana, so that i can make it until lunch without getting really hungry again.

sometimes at about 11 am, and you know that i don’t mean exactly 11 am, i eat a greek yogurt and a banana. usually it’s just a banana, but i like to eat a greek yogurt on days that i don’t bring lunch, because it keeps me feeling full for longer than just a banana. when i do bring lunch and eat a banana around 11 am, i usually get hungry around 1 pm and eat lunch around 2 pm. if i don’t bring lunch and i eat a greek yogurt and a banana at about 11 am, i won’t get hungry until about 2 pm. i usually leave work at about 3 or 4 pm, depending on when i got to work, so i can make it the rest of the day without needing to eat, even if i get hungry at about 2 pm because i didn’t bring lunch. sometimes when i don’t bring lunch, i bring a second banana to eat around 2 pm, because it makes it even easier to wait until i get home to eat. the 2 pm banana is really handy, but it’s not a necessity like the 11 am banana. if i don’t have a banana to eat at about 11 am, i get really hungry, and it makes it hard for me to focus on my work until i do eat.
