      - Wow, I've never heard of that -- nm - Pippy Blue Sky May 28, 11:49
  - Yeah, that's almost entirely what it is (I think). People who WFH just tend to eat at home. -- nm - pmb May 28, 11:08
  - It's a big problem for us as well. Without the office workers going to lunch a lot of places didn't survive and more are barely - Krusty May 28, 11:04

      - It's also one of the few ways they can get 700k viewers at this point. The water is at Zaslav's nose. - David May 28, 09:18 3
        
        Right -- I wouldn't be shocked if they just somehow book BBT for more time. - Will Hunting May 28, 09:20 2

        so...what do you do here? - Beaker 🍺 May 28, 08:37
        
        she found a good slacker gig. Just go to another floor, hang out, and draw a sweet paycheque. -- nm - mud May 28, 08:37 4
        
        her office is technically in a different city. -- nm - Andie May 28, 08:38 3

- Yeah, the NZ 18 hour difference was extremely difficult (and now being back home). -- nm - JaxSean May 28, 08:35 1
  - I always found the 2 or 3 hour differences were the more difficult. Any more than that I just go with the flow. -- nm - Meg May 28, 08:41
