I really miss the hour long lunch that I used to get when I worked at the animal hospital. I could actually enjoy my lunch without inhaling my food. I could run errands if I needed to. I could work out for 30 minutes and then still be able to eat afterwords. Best of all, I could take a nap in my car on a nice spring, summer, or autumn day. Sometimes a nap was necessary to make it through the day. I could rest and unwind if I had a stressful morning. I could go back to work feeling ready to take on the afternoon.
It's been just about 5 years since I've left that job. I now have a 30 minute lunch break. Sometimes it's not nearly enough. If I want to run out for a quick bite to eat, I have to eat it in my car while driving (which can be dangerous and limits what you can eat). Or I have to eat at my desk. I'm okay with a snack at my desk, but I cannot eat my lunch at my desk.
There's really no rhyme or reason for this post. Just a thought that came into my mind today.
