Anyone else try to spend as much time in the restroom at work as you can get away with? (hexbear.net)

I can't get paid for shitting on company time since I never really need to shit at work, but I'll be damned if I don't kill the same amount of time while on the clock. Thank god restroom breaks are mandated by OSHA and they don't count toward our normal 10 minute paid breaks. Over the course of an 8 hour shift, I try to spend at least 30 minutes total in the restroom.

For once I don't even hate my job and I'm not even really trying to steal time away. It's just a convenient excuse to get up, stretch and refresh a bit. I do it at the end of a task or goal and I need to start planning the next section of work so the mental reset is really useful. Honestly, it probably makes me more productive than if I just stayed at my desk.

Yeah, same. It's also the one place at the office where no co-worker is for sure not going to bother me.
