00:00:08,280 --> 00:00:10,320
Speaker 1: whether it's taking the day off or going for an

5
00:00:10,360 --> 00:00:13,240
Speaker 1: extended lunch break. It seems like everyone's got a tradition.

6
00:00:13,320 --> 00:00:15,360

00:00:24,520 --> 00:00:26,799
Speaker 1: talk because they don't want their bosses to know they're

12
00:00:26,800 --> 00:00:29,480
Speaker 1: here instead of on a zoom call or sending emails.
