Today is a day I want to take lunch. For some reason I’m very hungry today.
It is 1:47 p.m. and I have yet to go to lunch. I finished up a bunch of stuff from this morning at around 12:45 p.m. and as I was packaging it up to go in the mail, Mr. BIL said, “Hey, I’m waiting on a call – can you stick around and pick up my phone if I’m not in my office and then come find me? It’s due in the next 30 minutes.”
Cut to 1:47 p.m. – no phone call yet, and Mr. BIL keeps giving me work. Just now as he handed something to me I said, “Have you gotten that call yet and I just didn’t see it?”
“No – why?”
“Oh, I’m just trying to figure out when I’ll go to lunch.”
“Can you wait ten more minutes and then go?”
*grumble grumble*
The only upside? I’ll be back from lunch at 3 p.m. and my afternoon will SPEED BY at that point.
Can you not have someone bring you something so you can work from your desk than call it a working lunch and get paid for it?
Just a suggestion, not sure of the Politics in your office.
that’s tough…
stay strong jaynee! Avoid the vending machine lunch!
I could have skipped lunch and gotten paid for it, but I just wanted to get away and escape into the book I’m reading for a bit due to the hectic morning and early afternoon.
I finally got to go to lunch at 2:20 p.m. and just now returned. Here’s hoping to a fast afternoon!
I’ll bet Mr. BIL made sure that he got to eat his lunch. How rude of him!
