Lunch break away today!

March 18th, 2008 at 03:41 am

At work, many days I will eat lunch in my office and basically work through lunch and breaks. Not healthy, I know but some days- I just am so focused that I either forget or I push through to get everything done on my list.

Today was NOT one of those days. My boss was very kind to his team several months ago and got us all 80(Something-bite) ipods...which will hold alot. He did this so we could all listen to books on tape for our educational commitments at work.

One of our IS guys borrowed mine for a business trip...and when he gave it back there were lots of movies downloaded onto it...which I saved.

So today, I took my Ipod and went to a restaurant by myself, plugged in my earphones and watched an hour of You, Me and Dupree---which I have never seen. Quite entertaining and relaxing. I may have to get in the habit of doing something like this because I definately went back to work energized from my break.

I spent $8.59 for a nice lunch in a sit down restaurant and enjoyed every penny of it!!

Tonight we used up some frozen lasagne- so no other money spent today.

    You really do need to "Step Away From The Desk" once in a while. Lately, I have taken to walks in the the park near the office during lunch. Just getting away and letting my eyes rest on the trees, sky, etc, makes me feel much better. We spend so much time staring at a computer screen all day - it just can't be good for us.

    I find the best thing to do when I'm feeling like nodding off at my desk is to just get up and take a 10 minute walk around the building. Or, just offer to take the mail down. Smile Just getting out of the office for a few minutes can give me just enough revitalization to keep me going to the end of the day.

    That's pretty cool though about the 80gb Ipods.
