I got even more confused about the "Desktop Dining Dilemma" (see below), when I discovered our corporate on-site cafeteria on the 10th floor of the building: Park Cafe, the Cafeteria of CNN is the jewel of Time Warner building, my favorite place in the whole office. Our address being "One Central Park", there's not much that takes away the view of the breathtaking 180-panorama of Manhattan's green lung, one of the world`s largest public parks. Even after a month, each and every day when I go up for lunch I am stunned by the view of skyscrapers lining up on the border of the enormous green park that NY is so famous for. I do have to admit that the first week I felt a twinge of conscience when I was hedonistically savoring my parenthetically superb lunch meals with such a picturesque background being a new intern...but that 20 minutes on the top of the world recharges me more than any double-shot-cappuccino or candy bar others tend to take. I recently read an article that said Americans waste about one full hour by doing various non-work-related things which comes up as extra costs in productivity for their employers. Taking my precious break in the middle of the day when everyone else is superbusy wasting time with random things in front of the screen probably makes me less of a rockstar intern....but definitely makes me more efficient and cheerful for the afternoon than the rest of my respected colleagues on the fifth floor.
