Lunch Break, Lunch Hour, both terms are synonymous with each other. Meaning: Your hour of solitude where no one at work is supposed to bother you for anything. Period. This time can be used to peruse the net (so long as you're not looking at sites banned by the company), share jokes with fellow co-workers in the lunchroom, read the paper, read a magazine, read my blogs (lol), etc - you get my drift. This means pain in the ass bosses and/or co-workers should not ask you work related questions UNLESS they are absolutely, positively, unequivocally imperative! This means: NO, I will not respond to e-mails! NO, I will work on a project for you! NO, I will not do any other stupid s**t that can wait 60 minutes!
This being said, YTF did my manager just come over to my desk and ask me about a question I asked her an hour ago? I asked you an hour ago BI**H! You should have answered the question then and there. You of all people know the importance of food, you've consumed a lot of it in your spare time (as a hobby most likely). Common courtesy would be to say "Oh I'm sorry, I'll come back when you're finished." Apparently, she doesn't have common courtesy.
Last week my other manager calls me into his office to ask if I'd finished the project that he asked me to complete by COB (Close of Business) Friday, it was Wednesday. I told him that I had not and that I would knock it after my lunch break. Do you know what this prick said? "I didn't ask you what you were doing, I asked if you finished the project." - WHOA - This man obviously has never dealt with a young, black, WOMAN who doesn't give a F**K about seniority or playing the game in Corporate America! People, I maintained my cool because I knew that I had to. I'm no dummy - we're in a recession! I took two deep breaths and told him that I would knock the project out momentarily. So what do you think I'm getting him for X-mas? JACK S**T. F**K Him and the whore from which he came! Do you sense my anger? (rhetorical question).
I am like a dog in the middle of a meal. You know what they say, NEVER disturb a dog while eating or else you'll get bitten! I may take being disturbed while eating a bit seriously, well so what! It's my lunch hour to do whatever the F**K I want as long as it's not against company policy. So when I'm in the middle of eating get the hell out of my face!
