    News : Short Lunch breaks to impress your boss!

    http://uk.news.yahoo.com/27092005/344/short-lunch-breaks-impress-boss.html

    It's raises health concerns about people not having proper lunch while at work... yes, i know MOST of the regular visitors on here are layabout studnets who think a job is 6 hours behind a bar on a weekend BUT the best line is right at the end, and i quote :


    but those enjoying the longest breaks were people in IT and telecommunications who were most likely to have longer than an hour.

    I dont think some people understand the concept of lunch BREAK

    im sitting eating my dinner, alrady been dragged away twice for stupid trivial problems that could have waited

    Dont mind helping people at all, but when i have a mouth full of chicken tikka salad in my lunch hour i would like to eat it in peace GOD DAMN IT.
