Break Time just got waaaaaay better!


As the weather has gotten warmer, outside breaks have become more frequent among the non-smokers at ecampus. The accomodations outside our building however leave something to be desired.

-frequent interuptions by trains thundering by, barely missing you by 2 ft.
-trash all over the place
-no picnic tables
-sketchy hobo's wandering around
-plenty of rocks-that double as weapons when co-workers throw them at you
(yes- Matt Taylor threw a rock at me the other day and left a bruise on my foot. what a bully.)

It just doesn't make for a suitable environment to take a relaxing break.....

UNTIL YESTERDAY.

Erin Miles, who is my hero, brought in two red camping chairs from home and set them up outside in an optimal location:

-far enough behind the building so no one from the parking lot can see
-between the two sets of train tracks in a spot that stays sunny all afternoon
-out of the line of fire from where the boys throw rocks

It has revolutionized break time.

We leave the chairs out there all day- so feel free to take a seat and bask in the sun if you're out there (unless of course Erin and I come outside- then you have to get up) :-)

You guys crack me up!!!
Absolutely hilarious!

Do you still have your rock game though? Or do you just sit out there to get a tan?
