break periods at the office is almost always fun, except for instances when we have to rush something and do lunch by shifting. but most of the time, it's a jamboree from start to finish.
our conversations would range from political candidates to political ad campaigns to tv advertisements to showbiz personalities to office anecdotes. we never run out of topics for during pensive moments, we talk about ourselves instead. at times it feels as if break times were meant for laughs and eating just an alibi.
try one of our sessions:
"has anyone else seen Isko's half-naked election poster? i took his pic a few days later during their rally."
