Don't Be A Complete Tool

I know that the break room is still a room in the building. I also know that, technically, because I'm salaried that I'm "on the clock" for all of my time there. Seriously, if one more person calls me on my lunch hour in that break room for something retarded I'm gonna start busting heads.

Employee: "Um, a customer is on the phone and he needs to talk to you."

Awesomeness: "Is this something that can wait until my lunch is over?"

Employee: "I don't know, let me ask."

................... 2 minutes later .......................

Employee: "Never mind, I helped him."

Awesomeness: "Am I going to have to pay you workman's comp for that?"

Employee: "Huh?"

Awesomeness: [insert airplane noises]

The other favorite of mine is the lunchtime meeting. This is where Manager Extraordinaire sits down next to me under the guise of just "mentioning something real quick". 45 minutes later, she's still in my face. At this point my meal is no longer warm, fresh or appealing.

So this leaves me 2 lunch time options: I'm going to have to either go out to eat every day or ... go out to eat every day. Okay, I guess just one option. Won't that be an interesting conversation when I submit an expense reimbursement for the cost of meals?
