Has anyone else thought of taking up smoking (okay not literally) so that you can take several breaks during the day? Go outside, get some fresh, get away from the ringing phone or staring at the computer.
I'm not sure how this came to be acceptable at any work place. Oh where's so and so? She/He is out smoking. Oh okay this can wait. While the rest of us are slaves to our work he or she is out taking a break.
I know the many draw backs to smoking, I'm just saying that several breaks away from my desk a day would be heaven. And not to say that anyone would mind that I took a break or two but standing out there doing nothing would make me look lazy. Somehow smokers don't have that stigma.

Totally! You'd never get away with,"Where's B?" "Oh, she's outside having a Diet Coke break."
ReplyDelete"Where's J?" "Out back, eating a cupcake." "In that case, I'll catch her later."
