The nightmare lunch break of Marco

“Today it is the last day for delivering that damned project for the company of Rimini. What is the time? Already midday?!? I will never be able to finish! I think I will skip launch and keep going on until this evening.” Marco really thought he could stay without eating until dinner and that it was the best choice. At the end of the day, what was his alternative? He had to be stuck to his desk until late night, because the project for Valves&Valves had to be delivered. This time, the customer would not have accepted any delay.

“Come on, Marco, come with me to the bar at the corner, that we will rest a little chit chatting…enough with work, it is lunch time!”. It was Stefano, who as always was i a good mood.

It was already one o’clock and Marco had perfectly realized that without eating in a couple of hours he would collapse and would end up taking three or four of those filthy choccolate snacks from the vending machine in the office; then he would be sick as it happened the previous week.

Outside the rain had increased and the wind was powerful and extremely cold. “Not even in Sideria, but what is happening to the climate? Last week it was hot and now we are freezing!”. “They say it is Burian, a wind coming from Siberia indeed… But stop it, you are always complaining! And anyway everyone knows tha climate will change even more… So let’s get used to it, there is nothing to do abou it!”.

Marco knew that Stefano was right about his negative attitude: complaining has always been its main weakness, especially when he was feeling under pressure in his job. Luckily now he had one hour of time to relax a little, at the bar in the corner. About the fact that there was nothing to do to stop climate change, instead, he disagreed, because he had read that changing certain habits climate change could be mitigated, but as always he didn’t say anything to avoid useless discussions.

As soon as they arrived to the bar, it was immediately evident something: before they could really eat something they had to wait… A hugh line even just for sitting! After a few minutes standing there, a small round tabel, one normally used to drink coffee, was available. They sit there, even if there were uncomfortable.

“Daily menu: maccaroni with meat sausage and breaded cutlet with fries, is it ok?”. Both of them were so hungry that they were not even interested on what else there was, also because in that place there were always the same things and the quality was not the best anyway.

Macaroni were overcooked, with meat of doubtful origin. “I undestand that there is a lot of people here, but even my twelve years old cousin cooks better than this chef!” It was also true that in the area all the places were similar with this one and to go to a decent restaurant they had to take the car and for sure the voucher the company gives them for lunch would not be enough. Because of the few time available in the lunch break they always end up at that bar, almost every given day. The cutlet was a little better, just sticky and too oily. “Again animal meat…I should have taken a salad, but then I would have been hungry for the rest of the afternoon…for sure everything will be stuck in my stomach, but at least I am full now with breaded cutlet and fries!.

Even though they tried to eat quickly, more than thirty minutes had already passed.

After drinking a coffee at the counter, they had to wait five minutes more at the register, with another line, this time to pay the check.

“This sucks! Food was bad, I ate in a hurry and uncomfortably… I also paid 11 Euros! And now I am more tired than before, and even more nervous… Instead of relaxing, coming here made me more stressed out! And now I have to rush to the office to finish the work… But what can I do… The alternative was not eating at all, or what? There was no other choice!”
