What do you do instead of dinner?

It turns out that many people in their legitimate 60 minutes of rest in the middle of the working day is not engaged in food absorption. Office Life questioned, singled and reached the top of the best and most unusual ways to spend your lunch not for dinner. We start from the end, of course.

10. Go to the interview

Find an interesting job, to agree on a job interview, go at it - all employees prefer to do "the job of primary production." At the same time is the second half of the day to think about the proposal and in the evening ... refuse. As shown by our survey - most of the interview, which took place in the lunch break ends in nothing. Unlike those for which people take time off work. Probably, it is directly proportional to the effort to obtain the position and the actual desire to get it.

9. Increase the level of their education

But to form a legal break more often - effectively. "I have handed over at lunchtime several exams in graduate school of journalism of Moscow State University - told Office Life Evgeniya Baturina, editor in chief of the fashion glossy magazine. - It was the first to respond, he said quickly, back in time, and are always ready at night. Most of the exams I was handed over to a very good score. "

Many clerks with no higher education, but with higher aspirations for exams, preparing for tests and control it at lunch. Hiding in a quiet corner of your own office - reading a book or doing homework.

Those who have their own career plans and diplomas understood - also spend a break, not without benefit. "Our office is located in the city center. This means that in walking distance - many museums, exhibitions and showrooms, - says sales manager Elena Borodina. - I try to keep track of when near the office will open another exhibition and be sure to go on it. It helps to and from the working affairs aside and cultivate.

8. in one's dotage

Raise your hand, those who have offices located next to residential buildings? Uh-huh. Now raise your hand those who are in the yards of residential houses beautiful summer walking warm noon? What have less? And why? And how wonderful playgrounds with swings for every taste and size?

Once we are in the summer with a friend decided to walk to his legitimate break to the nearest yard - to sit and bask in the sun, breathe the unconditioned air. Probably, that this air was to blame! - says an employee of one of the offices of the company "VimpelCom" Natalia. - Children's swing in the courts of Moscow as bright as the picture from my childhood! We could not resist and decided to take a ride. As a result, the so amused that he almost broke the swing. You should have heard what we said grandmother near the entrance! ".

But how many emotions. It's already winter ends. A summer adventure is still remembered.

7. Go on a date

"The first date I always assigned to the lunch break, as it is a great opportunity to all the minimize, if not gone - told me a friend who works in a famous magazine. What? Fresh idea! I do not like it - you can always say that the blockage at work and it's time to run. Liked - forward, to negotiate about dinner. Girls, take note.

6. swim

"When working in Brighton, the break was 40 minutes, I ran to the beach, to go tearing off clothes (run 5 minutes longer swimsuit hook.) - Share Stories Maria Surkov, a junior brand manager of the newspaper" Vedomosti ". - 10 minutes of pure swimming in the sea and a hot dog in half with seagulls and running work-work! ".

In Moscow, there are plenty of ponds where you can swim. Closer to the summer we will publish a table of office buildings, from which you can reach the authorized bodies of water.

5. Read in the book

"I went every day to the bookstore and read there are several books that did not want to buy a home, one of them was, for example," The secret properties of plants "of plants, allowing to change the state of mind - a story told us employee of the department of information systems Natalia Mareeva . - The store was self-service, in Medvedkovo, so take a book and flip through it half an hour between the shelves was not a problem. "

First, we would like to carry this story to a nine-point about education. Still, it deserves a special place in the top. Read "The Secret properties of plants" - it will not pass the exam!

4. Check loyalty / her spouse

As in the joke: the husband comes back from work early ... But there is not only early, but at lunchtime. And the real story. We, of course, will not name, but believe in the word. A man from time to time in the afternoon went home "to check" - he had big doubts about the fidelity of his wife. However, on the second and subsequent times, he is nothing but a hot meal on the table, not caught ...

3. To have a sleep

In our top dream I was in third place, not because it is very original. And because it is very important and numerous. Who among us has ever not slept on the job? I, for example, is still fondly remember the tiny sofa in the conservatory TTC "Ostankino", which saw their best dreams.

"When I worked in neskazhukakoy company, here's what I did in the break - down to the first floor of our office tower and go to the toilet for the disabled. It had a separate room with a sink, a toilet, but, most importantly, a small sofa, - says Alexander Korzivin, head of the company engaged in network equipment. - On the couch I fell like a log and slept exactly one hour, putting himself on a mobile alarm clock. Then he washed his face, to wake up and go to work on. "

However, there are also more extreme ways to sleep on the job. The cabinet size 60/60 cm, under his own desk in the office toilet - to perfect this process is still far away. So there is room for improvement!

2. Arrange inter-office competition "The Best anything"

It contributes to the strengthening of friendship between different offices of the same company or one large office different. Nina works at the reception a small trading company. In a great business center on Nina's 8th floor crammed several offices. One creative secretary tired "to send do not know where to" get lost couriers and decided to get acquainted with their neighbors in the building. In the morning, she hung up the elevator the announcement of the competition among the firms "On the best smile." And the next day held at lunchtime contest based on local dining. So what, that was the main prize of the three-course meal. But Nina now knows where to send the prodigal couriers? and on what floor sits her current best friend Anya.

1. Make an offer and apply. At once

The story we decided to give a direct speech. The author writes well, and the situation is unique.

"7 years ago I worked in a IT-company designer. Came once in the morning to the office and said that all the women - being bad, and I'm never getting married. All said, ma la dec! And at lunchtime I called one of his good friend and asked:

- You have your passport with you?

- Yes, why? - she asked again.

- And now we go to the registrar? - I suggested.

- Let's go - do not hesitate, she said.

I got up, dressed and went. Time to submit an application and go back to work. But even with champagne. The chief said only that he had never seen a bald groom.

March 3 is just 7 years old and will be ... "
