Is this bad form in the office?

I work at a trading desk on the west coast, which means I get up at 3:45 and get to the office by 5:00 AM. We don't really have lunch breaks, so everyone eats at the desk. I bring a sandwich every day for lunch, which takes me about 10mins to make in the morning. Today while sitting on the porcelain throne, I had an awesome idea of bringing sandwich supplies to the office. I can leave it in the fridge and just slap a sandwich together there. Is this embarrassing/frowned upon?

The extra 10 minutes of sleep would be amazing...

 
GoCard:

You can also make the sandwich the night before. Just an idea.

Yeah, but why waste time at home? If you poop at work for 30 mins a day, assuming 262 workdays of 8 hrs ea, you'll get paid approximately 16 days worth a year for pooping.

I did this at one of my jobs. No one cared. Hell, no one even noticed that I was in the kitchen making a sandwich. Which surprised me, because being female I would have figured that was the first place they'd look when trying to find me.

Fuck me, getting up at 3.45am?! How long have you been doing this?

... but then the market closes at 1pm his time and he's probably out by 4pm latest?
