so today i came in to work with yesterday heavy on my mind and buried myself in work. i came up for break, and then i noticed people were taking a 2nd break. i thot that was because the boss was out of town. later on i looked up and realized that the 2nd break was my lunch hr, which i totally missed. i had lunch at 3pm.
