Oh hello there. How are you? Hard at work are you? Maybe you're filling out a spreadsheet detailing all of the lead paint violations in Massachusetts? Or maybe you're sitting at a table making mock up after mock up of tubes, boxes and jars. Or perhaps you're sitting at your desk blogging, thinking to yourself, "Where the hell am I going with my life?"
In any case, I hope you had the chance to enjoy a good lunch! Lunch is important. It breaks up the day and allows you the time to get away from your desk, clear your head and forget about all that shiteous bull-shit that you have to deal with in place of doing any of your own work.
I'd like to share with you some tips to enjoying a lovely lunch while at work.
1.) It is imperative that you enjoy your lunch with co-workers you like: No one hates it more than having to sit at a table for a full hour with people who drone on about nothing. If you'd rather be at the dentist than sitting at your lunch table, it's time to move on
2.) Go somewhere familiar: Once you and the co-workers you like have decided that you'd like to dine out, pick a place that you know. We here at The Spoil will go to Pete's Dockside because it is excellent hang-over food, plus we know the cook. He's a charismatic dude who's really into being Greek. And there are no surprises. You know that when you eat at Pete's, you're going to be hanging out in the bathroom about a half hour later.
3.) Avoid beverages with chunks in them: Did you already take a sip though? Eeek. I hope it wasn't too big of a sip! In any case, if you're reaching into the cooler for a diet whatever, make sure you skip right over the bottle that has unidentified floating objects in it.
4.) Become one with the rodents: If you happen to be sitting at your table, talking to your friend about the latest gossip and you see a little mousey-kins scuttle by, don't be afraid! The mouse is just trying to get his lunch on like you. And clearly he has good taste, I mean you both did show up at the same establishment to dine.
5.) Dessert is key: Whether it is a cookie, an apple or a scoop of Nutella. Dessert. Is. Key.
6.) Try to get some good sport in: Or if you can't, try to at least watch others get active with it at lunch. What do I recommend? Coming down to the water near The Spoil and watching random groupings of people catch skates. Then realize how disgusting they are and throw them back in the water. You may even see one dude who looks strangely like Perez Hilton casting his rod.
I hope this has helped you to realize how enjoying lunch at work can be oodles of fun. Now all you have to do is pry yourself away from your 217418751964618485 spreadsheets that someone has given you to complete when that person makes about 200% more money than you and has the title to show for it!
