Guest post of the week by Brittany Booker

I finally convinced my boss to log onto http://www.directstartv.com/ and get a television in the break room. When I first started working at my current job, where I have been for five years, we had the worst break roomthat you could imagine. The room basically looked like a jail cell. There was a plastic topped fold down rectangular table with four matching chairs. There was also a small mini fridge. For an office of fifteen people, a mini fridge just wasn’t cutting it. Everyone would leave the office at lunch and make sure that they took the entire hour before they got back. Usually people were really late. My boss would always get on to people and complain about their tardiness. Finally, I just told him that if he jazzed up the break room, he probably wouldn’t have a problem with everyone in the office being back from lunch. So on Thanksgiving break last year, when we got back, the break room was an oasis. NO one minded being at the office during lunch time because it was actually enjoyable. This year, after a whole year of waiting we have a television to watch during lunch time. I love it!
