Coffee break
A coffee break is a daily social gathering and short downtime practiced by employees through business and industry in the modern world. Usually lasting 10 - 20 minutes and frequently occurring at the end of the first third of the work shift. The break is often held away from the actual work area in a designated breakroom or outdoor area. It is a time for gossip and small talk, or a time to smoke a cigarette, for those fewer and fewer people still of the habit, which can no longer participate in that habit inside the workplace. Of course, a lite snack can be had and enjoyed with a refill of some form of coffee, an addiction surpasing nicotine. It is a chance to wind-down slightly and "regroup" for the remaining day's work.
