THE JOY OF LUNCH

Bloggranddaughter Denise of A Peek Inside My Mind talks a bit about that wondrous time of day - LUNCH:

Anyway, I rather enjoy the peacefulness of my lunch break. Its a time where there is no one else in the house. There is no tv on in the background, or the roaring of cars from my son's Hot Wheels game on the other pc. Its just me and the humming of my fan from my pc.

Right there with her on that one. My day at the bank consists of a series of problems, frustrations, crises, & interruptions. Quite maddening, all.

Until that sacred lunch hour finally rolls around, and I lock up my cash, grab my jacket, and head out the door. For 60 precious minutes, my life belongs to me again. I hop in the car, drive to a quiet spot near a park, stop the car and breathe out the morning's tension. If the weather is nice, I'll head out to a picnic table, unfold my portable keyboard, hook it to my PDA and work on a blog entry. Followed by sitting in the car, catching a bit of Rush Limbaugh, eating a sandwich & taking a catnap before returning to work.

On weathery days, I'll do the writing part in the car, too.

Lunch time is an hour of me-time sanity in a day otherwise filled with jumping through other people's hoops.

Best time of the day there is.

With the exception of the time I spend with Beloved Wife, of course ;-)

1 Isn't it something how people spend their lunch hours? My co-workers are health fanatics .... they walk the halls of the huge building we are in during their lunch. Its like a herd of cattle up there in the halls. Beware of the poor schmuck that is walking the opposite way in the hall. LOL Or others will go to lunch with their friends and catch up on their juicy gossip .... Me .... I just want peace from the phone and people stopping at my desk. LOL

2 Lunch is like my little moment of Zen during the day. I do what I want, just enjoying the moment of nothing going wrong. Like a little slice of heaven during my work day. I heart the lunch hour!
