Step away from the desk

October 6th, 2006

Sad that we live in a time where taking lunch at work could be considered bad form. But at least the Associated Press has some pointers about how to eat lunch somewhere other than your cubicle without looking like a slacker. Of course, they’re recommending you start small, as in, eating lunch outside the cube just one day a week.

I’ll add my own suggestion to the list: If you’re only able to escape the clutches of your cubicle one lunch hour a week, then devote those 60 (or 30, or 15) minutes to your pet project of choice. You know, penning your memoirs, helping your local Democrats get elected this November, or — here’s a concept — looking for a new job in a more relaxed workplace.
