Default Re: What\'s lunch break for?

[ QUOTE ]
I would imagine that too. I'd ask those people why? Sure, I'd guess a small percentage love their jobs and don't want to leave them for a second

I would guess about 0%. I "love my job", so to speak, but I sure as hell can stop doing it every now and then.

but the majority don't. To impress the boss?

[/ QUOTE ]

Unless you work in a bank of cubicles with your boss, it won't impress your boss because he/she won't even know. Also, if your boss takes lunch break they won't know whether you're there or not.

To get ahead/stay ahead/keep from falling behind? Possible, but a poor way to live

[/ QUOTE ]

I think you're closer to mark here. For the record, I think a poorer way to live is always being behind schedule, eventually having to stay late or come in on weekends to make deadlines.

For me, I usually take a short break to eat at my desk. The sooner I go back to work, the sooner I can go home or post on 2+2 for the whole afternoon.
