Navy blue man: Oh. I quit drinking coffee, but you can stand around doing nothing twenty percent longer if you're holding a mug.
And you can walk around an office all day if you carry a piece of paper.
I learned a trick very early … walk looking purposeful like you’re going somewhere to do something, and people don’t bother you.
Mr. Carrillo, I used a clipboard and a ballpoint.
The clipboard is good. A stack of files works well, too. So does a phone message slip. (And with practice, you can walk out the door backwards, and they’ll think you’re coming in.)
And if you are holding a cigarette, you can go on breaks every 20 minutes.
Do only government employees post here? XO ;)
Yep, I started Work Smoking to get extra breaks. I didn’t smoke anywhere else, and when I retired two years later I stopped completely.
So that’s why everyone drinks coffee…..
