I of course get why they have to give me the break—no employer can deprive their workers of food—but I honestly don’t want it. The work is mostly data entry, nothing so complicated as to necessitate giving my mind a break. And how would I propose this to my manager?

“Back when I worked in food service, my manager kept getting on my butt for me to do delivery instead of just working in the store. Part of my job was to do data entry of the weight of the onions that had come in. Needless to say, she didn’t take the job. I saw her at a street fair a few weeks later and gave her a hug.

Data entry, people cages, nipple clamps, hand-embroidered baby quilts. There’s food and fun and then they invite out the surprise performer who sings an hour set.
