It's not even ten in the morning and you've already had two breakfasts? :shock:

EDIT: Then again, those are pretty light breakfasts...

I usually eat breakfast at 5:30am. Or there abouts. Well, on weekdays anyway. Weekends I usually eat between 8-9am.

The only reason I had two breakfasts today (no, this is not a normal occurance!) is because there were goodies in the break room at work. :P

We might have breakfast around the same time then. And in my time zone it actually makes sense. :P

It also makes sense for me, concidering when I have to leave the house for work and such. :)

Some of my co-workers probably eat a bit like that every day.

Tá mé ag ceartú do théacs. :P

Ní féidir an aimsir ghnáthláithreach a úsáid le "anois".

I stole "Cad a dhéanann tú" off GnG.
It probably wasn't the Munster way to say it anyway. And I should have spelled it <dheineann> to begin with. :P

By the way, I can piece together most of that sentence, but what does "ghnáthláithreach" mean? I can't find it in Teanglann.

ProTip: If you can't find a word in the Irish dictionary, try removing the first element and searching it separately. This is what you find for gnáth-: "pref. 1. Usual, customary, ordinary; vulgar, common; standard. 2. Constant, unremittent." Now put that together with what you find for láithreach.

If you want to go super Munster, you can use the passive progressive here, i.e. "Cad é atá á dhéanamh agat(sa)?"

It seems to be the fault of the English translation of GnaG. The Irish sentence is fine, but it doesn't mean "what are you doing?". I think "what do you do?" would be a better translation to hint at the habitual meaning.
