Good luck with the interview, Wolfram.

In other news, I should not be allowed to shop at the gourmet grocery while ravenous. I spent over $50 on three little plastic bags of food last night. Admittedly, I can get 8 or 9 healthy sandwiches on really good bread out of the contents, but still. And I now have white asparagus, for no good reason whatsoever.

Big Boss sent out a chastising e-mail this morning informing us that breaks are a privilege, and that we are not to treat them as "social events."

When on break, I shall comply with his wishes by treating my coworkers like hostile inmates.

Good thing your job makes up for it with fantastic benefits, lots of OT and vacation, a private office and really satisfying work projects.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Are breaks a privilege?

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Like, "And I can take them away any time I want to"?

He's really going to be surprised when you guys go postal, isn't he?

Shit's all sorts of different now.

Actually, in Michigan, it's not. Employers in Michigan are not legally required to give meal times or regular breaks.
