Was the breakfast good? I've rarely found catered breakfasts to be any good but I keep looking for a good one.

An unofficial chapter of the popular Dull Men's Club.
1. Relevant commentary on your own dull life. Posts should be about your own dull, lived experience. This is our most important rule. Direct questions, random thoughts, comment baiting, advice seeking, many uses of "discuss" rarely comply with this rule.
2. Original, Fresh, Meaningful Content.
3. Avoid repetitive topics.
4. This is not a search engine or advice forum.
Use a search engine, a tradesperson, Reddit, friends, a specialist Facebook group, apps, Wikipedia, an AI chat, a reverse image search etc. to answer simple questions, identify objects or get advice. We accept very few questions, and they must be over topics much more difficult than what is easily discoverable with a search. Also see rule 1, “comment baiting”.
5. Keep it dull. If it puts us to sleep, it’s on the right track. Examples of likely not dull: jokes, gross stuff (including toes), politics, religion, royalty, illness or injury, killing things for fun, or promotional content. Feel free to post these elsewhere.
6. Not hate speech, sexism, or bullying No sexism, hate speech, degrading or excessively foul language, or other harmful language. No othering or dehumanizing of anyone or negativity towards any gender identity.
7. Proofread before posting. Use good grammar and punctuation. Avoid useless phrases. Some examples: - starting a post with "So" - starting a post with pointless phrases, like "I hope this is allowed" or “this is my first post” Only share good quality, cropped images. Do not share screenshots of images; share the original image.
8. All polls must have an "Africa, by Toto" option. Why? Because we hear the drums echoing tonight.

Just finished eating it and it was surprisingly good. A variety of tasty breakfast wraps and the tortilla had a perfect amount of crisp. Not the sad, saggy wraps like a hotel buffet.
We got a new office manager last year and she's been absolutely crushing it with the catering for these things (which are usually lunches) so I had high hopes going in
That's what I like to see. A manager that takes pride in their work.
What says you need to work the full day from the office?
You could work till 12, head home and finish the day from home.
I know myself too well. I would get home and accomplish nothing, unfortunately. Since I don't do it often, my brain interprets the drive as a dividing line between work and play
I've done this a few times when people are meeting at my local office. I would put the kids on the bus and then drive in after rush hour, getting there around 10, and then I'd sit in on some meetings, have lunch, and then drive home around 2 to get the kids off the bus.
A manager said "you're wasting an hour each way during work hours." Those hours are wasted no matter what time they happen. I can make it up before the kids go to school or after they go to bed, but that's the point of flexibility. That's what work-life balance means. And I don't have to waste any hours if I work from home.
Except right now. I'm wasting time here, writing this, during work hours.
