Yet another trivial poll

[ladyofastolat]

At work, there is a kitchen about 20 steps from my desk, and at any time I like during the day, I can wander in and make myself a hot drink, and bring it back to my desk to drink while working. I was quite horrified to discover the other day that Pellinor has to buy any drink that he consumes from the staff canteen, and can only do so at designated break times. I'm curious to find out if his situation is normal and I'm just very lucky, of if I'm the normal one, and he's horribly deprived.

When I was working, I had one 20 minute break during an 8 hour shift, during which all purchasing, eating/drinking and walking to/fro canteen had to be accomplished. Usually this left about 5 minutes to actually do any consuming.

I and my colleagues always found it ironic that we were expected to expound the virtues of healthy eating and/or lifestyles to our patients, yet were left high and dry (literally) when it came to nutrition and avoidance of dehydration for ourselves. All this while doing a demanding and physical job!

I remember the availability of food and drink in my previous job roles fondly.
