We Have Food In Front Of Us And The Other Person In The Office Is Clearly NOT Eating And They Go For The Person With The Food - Tumblr Posts

I really don’t understand why it is that the counselors wait until I am on my lunch before they suddenly start spamming me with emails needing this, that, and the other thing, and coming into my office demanding I do something or look for a file for them (because walking a whole extra foot to the damned filing cabinets behind me is so hard), or whatever else it is that they suddenly need me for OMG RIGHT THIS MINUTE. And they are always surprised I’m on lunch. 

Uh, guys? I’ve had the same lunch schedule since I started here. They also get the same answer, every time they come for me: “I’m on lunch. Can this wait?” and 99% of the time, it can. Or it can be handled by someone who isn’t on lunch.

It doesn’t matter if I eat in my office or in the break room. If I am somewhere in our office suite, someone (or more likely, multiple someones) will hunt me down and want me to work while on lunch (but gods forbid someone ask them to work on their lunch hour *grumble*). I’m starting to think that, despite the heat, I need to find somewhere outside the office suite to eat my lunch. I may always tell them ‘no’ and follow through, but I’m still really tired of having my break interrupted every few minutes.

...Actually, now that I think about it, the counselors go straight for whichever one of us is actually on lunch, even if it means completely bypassing the admin person who is CLEARLY available to get to the one on lunch.
