Shared Employee Break Room https://i.postimg.cc/jj3cdrPg/breakroom.gif If you're a Level Four employee and in search for decent coffee or the latest office gossip, the break room is the place to be. Located just past and directly connected to the conference room, the break room provides you with...whatever you put into the fridge and cabinets there. It is essential for you to bring your own dishes - mugs, plates, water glasses, eggcups, whatever your heart desires - as the Ministry does not have the means to provide them. And there are no disposable plastic cups or the like. OOC: This thread is for Level Four employees only - unless you want your character to get into trouble with the department heads. |
Anyone Lunch time, not one of his favorite times of day, but one that he found himself in the break room. Being someone that wasn't very social the break room was a bit stressful for Griffin. He liked keeping to himself with his plants and coming in here he wasn't sure who he'd end up needing to make small talk with. Wheeling in he might have given a sigh of relief not seeing anyone in there yet. He knew because of the time of day more would be coming soon. Maybe if he hurried up and got his food out of the fridge he could eat before the others came in. |
for sarahhhh :3 Eureka entered the room huffing and puffing inwardly. It was the general atmosphere that bothered her in the ministry nowadays, although their department was much better than others she bet. They had little political influence and involvement to face what other departments would. That was a blessing. She used her wand quickly to fetch her stored sandwich and heat it a little before sitting down to have a quick lunch break. |

Entering the room nonchalantly, Natalie headed for her own lunch stash - also a sandwich, since she wasn't too great at cooking. "Oh, hi," she said to Eureka, giving her a smile as she grabbed her lunch. "Eureka, right?" Obviously, Natalie KNEW that was her name, but she didn't want to come across as... creepy. Was she being creepy? Possibly. |
Nordic Witch! Possibly one of the busiest employees on Level Four, Carson was surprised to find himself with nothing to do in the middle of the day. Errands were run, drinks were served and owls were answered. He had plenty of other duties to carry out later in the day, but it looked like he could take a break for now. Entering the employee break room, he headed straight for a table and sat down, not finding the need to open the fridge or cabinet. He never brought food to work, since his family often did not have enough to eat at home. More so now that his younger sister was back from Hogwarts - he was very glad to see her safe and sound again, and wanted to buy her new school supplies with the income from his fancy new job. Flipping through his planner to review Aurora's schedule, he slowly felt his eyelids droop. He was ... a bit sleepy. Could he lay his head on the table, just for a little while? He wouldn't fall asleep, promise! He would never ... fall asleep ... at work ... zzz. |

"Please feel free to join me," on this side of the table. Eureka shifted in her seat to allow more space for Nat. "Want a pickle?" She grinned gesturing at her Tupperware by the fridge. |

Entering the breakroom, Aurora was about to head straight for the cabinets to get a banana to snack on, when her eyes landed on her assistant. Her eyes grew wide with surprise as she realized that Carson was in fact sleeping at work with his head on the table. Had she been working him so hard? "Carson!" Aurora called out loudly. "Carson, wake up!" she called out again with emphasis on each syllable in Carson’s name. It wouldn’t do for him to be sleeping in the breakroom, in the middle of the day when he should be working. It wasn’t right. |

She sat down across from the girl as she offered her a pickle. She didn't know why, but it surprised her. No one had ever offered her a pickle before. "Sure," she said, after considering the question for a moment. Then she retrieved a pickle to eat with her lunch. This was off to a great start. She crunched into a bite of pickle, crossing her legs under the table as well. "How long have you worked here?" she asked. It was Natalie's first year at the Ministry, so she had no idea how long any of her coworkers had been there. |

"Hmm, I've worked here for quite a while now. It was broken into two phases, though. I first worked here for two years as a ranger then moved to Oslo for a higher education, stayed there for four years, and now I'm back as a researcher." She narrated, playing with her veggies and trying to stuff them inside the two loaves of bread. "I've been here as a researcher for, I guess, three years." Taking another bite, a small one, she reflected. "What about you?" Most likely Natalie was a newbie, Eureka hadn't seen her much before. Although this wasn't a fair judgement since Eurie keeps to her desk a lot. |

Jolting awake, the young employee immediately realised that he was caught sleeping at work, by none other than Ms Aurora Bagnold herself. He stood up at breakneck speed to face his boss, no longer feeling sleepy. "Ms Bagnold! I'm sorry, I hadn't intended to take a nap here ... I have no excuse." He hung his head in shame. |
Quote:
When Carson jolted awake Aurora quickly took a few steps backwards and to the side to not accidentally get knocked into. It was better to be safe than sorry. Crossing her arms, she just looked at him as Carson apologized for his action. Waving the apology away with a dismissive hand Aurora asked. "I'm more interested in why you needed to take nap? Are you not sleeping well at home?" Was she exhausting him with all the extra tasks off late, perhaps? |

When she asked why he needed to take a nap in the break room, he took a moment to consider how to reply, still looking down at his feet. It was probably best to tell her the truth. He felt that she would not be judgemental, and perhaps even give him some advice. "Um, the thing is, I'm doing some extra Apparition practice outside of work. I'd like to get a side job as an Uber Apparator when I turn nineteen." Which was in less than a month's time. "I have not been getting enough sleep because of that. But I should not have let that affect my work here ... sorry." |
Quote:
She was about to start making a task list in her head of things still left to do when Carson finally spoke up and baffled her. He wanted to be a what? Furrowing her browns in slight confusion Aurora asked "I get that you want to get your apparition license all younglings do, but Uber Apparator what's that? You run errands for people on your days off from work?" Or had she misunderstood? |
