You glance at your watch and rejoice at what you saw. It is just ten minutes away from noon and your growling stomach reminded you that it was close to lunch time. Just then, the boss true to his promise to return at noon, did just that. "What? Thinking of going for lunch already? Isn't it yet way too early? And to think, you have been enjoying coffee breaks all morning long. When do you intend to put in some real serious work? Why don't you just dig in there instead and complete this second issue in the file. It is a short case and you are capable of completing issues in fifteen minutes when you put your mind to it. And oh, Paul over there has been inquiring about your position for quite a while. Okay, so bring me some results by 1:00 o'clock, on retiring these bonds," he suggests. There really was no alternative other than to delay lunch.
