Lunch break stuff

Far far away

Always curious what people do on their lunch break (besides eat)

Has it changed from wfh or on site.

Do you chatter your way through it or hide from the masses

Fit in a few extra jobs.

Head to gym

Go walking

Fabbing

Watch videos etc etc...

Never worked from home and every job prior to this one I've always had to take calls or deal with issues so my half hour break could be 3 x 10 mins breaks instead.

Now I sometimes get out for a walk unless I'm out on the road and I just work through it so I can get back at a decent time.

I take lunch break seriously. Good food, peace and quiet followed by good conversation and craic. But then I work my own hours so can take my time.

Good food is a non-negotiable

Just after squeezing in a 5K on my lunch break, make the most of the good weather and clears the head

If anyone fancies giving me a rubdown HMU

not a million miles from the airport.

I used to have a sandwich and a wank, until HR put a stop to it.

Apparently not everyone in the canteen appreciated it.

I usually don't take mine. I'm not allowed to go anywhere except directly outside so I just tend to break mine up into 5 min chunks of walking round the outside of the building. Some days I live dangerously and walk the length of the car park opposite

I'm surprised they let you outside at all. Surely they have an exercise yard for that kinda thing

They keep us on fairly long chains to create the illusion of freedom

It's effective as well, apparently. You seem to think you're a normal member of society while the rest of us know the truth

Sods Law kicks in...a manager will magically appear or somebody will need help with something

Prob should point out that only two of us work in the building at any given time so we have to stay close by mostly for safety reasons

Far far away

Seems a broad mix based on time, location and job. I wfh and onsite and tend to be more structured when on site. I run away from the masses..

Wfh, I never take a full break, eat worse and do house work.

What if you need to slow down or even worse come to a complete stop.
