I smoke exactly 3 fags whilst staring out to sea from my bench situated on bournemouth pier
(Possibly a bit-IM A BLOODY OFFICE WORKER!-centric)

really?

everyday? do you feel a bit dazed when you get back to work? Do you get a bit scared?


not really

you're legally allowed to have one pint on your dinnertime. i don't do it now, but i used to, most people have a couple of beers on their dinner, don't they?


I did today

and I feel dazed and scared, I had 1 and a half? I didn't know it was illegal


i used to drink on mine

but now i cant afford it


well you'll have to sacrifice lunch

if you wanna start again


i dont eat now

id have to sacrifice housing


i'm not sure it is

but some employers frown on it. i'm not sure what i'm talking about really, but i remember my old boss telling me that they couldn't caution/warn/have a word with/sack whatever, someone for having a beer at lunchtime because of some old by-law, but he might have been having me on.

i don't feel dazed afterwards, i just need the toilet every ten minutes.


I can see why it's frowned upon.

I believe him, sounds about right


I...

... have a fishing rod. To the hook, I attach a piece of bread and a helieum balloon. I take it outside and go fishing for pigeons. There are more seagulls in Bournemouth , so I'd up the bait to a chunk of battered sausage if I were you.


i very much like the sound of this

i could actualy just tie the rod to the bench and then still smoke my 3 fags


Read my book

or like today, go to Fopp and cheer myself up with purchases.


sometimes

have a walk, sometimes go to the shops, sometimes stay at my desk


Nowt

I forgot to go and eat today


i probably will

im here for thr forseeable future and i get an hour a day lunch.

guess number 1) dogging?


I'm not quite at the stage to find it funny yet

I'll let you know though


If you confuse kissing and bumming

then I think its about time you took your trousers off.

I thought we were going to be friends now?


*dog eat face


Nice


I'm in a strop with you now

I might do bad grammar all over the place


:( sorry Daniel.

*hug*


It's cool :)

I'm sure it will be the funniest story in the world and will move heavily into my drunken anecdote rotation once its all healed up!


queue for the ataris?

POO POO POOPY POO?


Watch The Wire on my computer

or spend 40 minutes queueing in Sainsbury to buy a single roll

or go to the shops

or go to the bank


I pop to the

shop


...

I have a browse in a crushingly supercillious high-brow 2nd hand bookshop (think Black Books but less inviting) and then I come here and post about it.

The End.


...

I stop in at my regular sammich shop, they immediately say "the usual?" and start making my usual, disabling me from ever ordering anything different. I toss 'em some money for the usual and go off to do the browse. On my way back from the browse, I collect my 'usual' and come here to post about it.

The End.


Do you eat it?

(your lunch)


sometimes.

Usually I read to it, then eat the book!


Dis

and a rubbish sandwich...


white bread with

tuna?


I read that as rubber sandwich

What would be the point of that?


I'm allergice to everything else

plus i only need to ever buy one sandwich...


wth is allergice?

is he the next England manager?


wank


go to Greggs

buy butty
eat it in the park whilst the pigeons lurk hopefully
possibly wander into HMV and see what's about
think about going to the pub, but don't


I don't have a set lunch break

I just go out when I'm bored. So roughly 5 times a day.


christ, if I did this

I wouldn't be at my desk for longer than a minute.


You'd be surprised

how boring the back streets of Southwark can get after four years. I find it's easier to stay here and piss around on the internet instead.


pretty much the same as i do for the rest of the day

shit all/browse dis/abuse colleagues


loads

I'm a student, most of my days are just one long lunch break.

But when I did work and had 30min off for lunch I was never very creative. It was basically go to the shop, buy food, eat it, have a fag.


Pretend to work while eating at my desk

then use this to justify getting in late and leaving early as it suits me


^^ the same

ruse of champions


also

play scrabulous slighlty better than through the rest of the day, as I don't have to keep minimising it


cunning

I like it.


i think it's fair to say....

... that only people who do something a bit different to everythign already mentioned (except the pidgeon fishing) should post.

when i can get away, i listen to sad music on my ipod and seethe.


i suppose this thread should've been..

what would be a fun/creative/constructive activity to do in the hour that i escape the crushing mediocrity of my job?

to be fair ive started taking photos when the surf's decent, but as i've said im in bournemouth. This means i will take 4 photos a year


I am on the best lunch ever.

I came home and my boyfriend made pizzas!! Now I have to return to work.. bahh...


Lunch breaks?

I've got into bad habits and pretty much don't leave my desk these days, but I used to go for a walk in the woods near the office and stalk deer (really) or go and feed apples to the horses.

I start a new job on Friday and they seem to be dead keen on lunch breaks, whilst the office is just next to Blenheim Palace, so I think I know what I'll be doing of a lunchtime.


Read DiS

and poorly designed sandwhiches.


*eat *sandwiches

and learn to type sentences..


you read

sandwiches?


yeah sometimes

when the forums are quiet..


i also visit...

.. recruitment agents.


i usually

just tend to hit the disabled toilet and tease one out over something vaugley saucy in The Metro.


generally speaking i'm lucky to get a lunch break

i probably take my half-hour legal break requirement in small doses, drinking tea and posting on here.


either

go swimming, go out for lunch and drink a big glass of wine, wander round town and buy loads of crap or sit at my desk and cry about how crap my job is.


in the summer

i also go swimming, it is truly wonderful


hmmm..

I generally look at facebook, Spoonfed.co.uk or here and plan my night out. Its very theraputic


Drag round

Stretford and Sale noticing how mental everyone looks and buy boring household goods from Wilco (no not Jeff Tweedy, the proud to be British household shop)


i work right next to a pool

seems stupid not to go!


Depends

sit in the rest room with my PSP.

Sit at my desk and browse t'net in a non covert manner.

Go for a pint.

Go for a walk.


I

Knock over old people in M&S whilst the "this is'nt just food" advert womans voice competes for space in my head with the techno I'm listening to on my ipod.

Then I Buy a yoghurt, go back to work.
