I used to work with an older man who smoked. Multiple times a day, he would go out to his truck and puff away through a cigarette. All the while reading a book on his Kindle. I remember being jealous of his book reading at work; jealous that I couldn’t do the same.
No matter what, my old boss would always be looking for my coworker whenever he stepped out to smoke. Angered my boss to no end to see my coworker smoking and reading away in the parking lot. Oftentimes he would smoke for 15 to 20 minutes. But no matter, he took a break, and he got to read.
As you work through your day, do you take any breaks? In a job where it feels like I am often glued to my desk (someone has to answer the phone), I have wondered what it would be like to build a “smoke break” into my day.
One day I will figure this out.
Do you take breaks at work? What do they look like?

I have a wireless head set and when calls come in I get up and walk around the office. Recently I was on the phone walking the perimeter of the inside of the office and looked out the front window noticing a bird perched on my rear view window. He would flutter down between the mirror and the window, then perch and do it again. All the while pooping down the side of my door. He brought a friend yesterday. He is quite fascinating to watch. I don’t get to read, but I do walk.

Walking is good. Having a poopy bird bring his friend to poop even more on your car, not so good. 🙂
