Let’s Not and Say We Did

A coworker wants everyone to eat lunch together once a week.

Because of the sucktacular economy and impending state budget cuts, we’ve been asked to brainstorm ways to streamline our workflow. Fine. We’ve also been asked to look at the library as a whole and come up with ideas for tasks that can be discarded and others that might be implemented to make things more efficient. Also fine. What’s not fine? A coworker suggested that we have “power lunches,” where we “talk about stuff.” This is presumably some sort of primate bonding ritual that will help us be more productive worker ‘droids.

But wait! There’s more! He also thinks that part of this weekly “power lunch” should involve all of us going to the gym and working out together. I am not making that up.

Kill me now!
