How to Work Better in an Office

MONA:  Hey Tim, you have been working continuously for the last four hours.  Let’s have a tea break now.

TIM:  Sorry, I won’t be able to leave my work.

MONA:  You must take a break after every two hours.  It will keep your mind fresh.

TIM:   I certainly wish for that, but unluckily I can’t.  My promotion is due after a couple of months.  I have to perform.

MONA:  Do you think you can perform better with a tired mind?

TIM:  I agree with you, but if I get up from my chair I may not be able to get the same concentration again. 

MONA:  In my opinion you’ll do better.  Your mind will become habitual to a new work pattern. 

TIM:  It may also disturb rhythm of my working schedule.

MONA:  Why don’t you do it for a week? 

TIM:  If my boss gets angry, then?

MONA:  Everybody is taking tea breaks in the morning and in the evening. Why can’t you? 

TIM:  OK.  I can give it a try for one week.  If I perform better I shall continue the new work pattern as you suggest.

MONA:  You are a good boy. Let’s go to office canteen for just 10 minutes quick tea break.

TIM:  I like you Mona; you are a good friend.
