[QUOTE="urbanracer, post: 2164284, member: 140811"] I might sound a bit like the shop steward but my advice would be to take the lunch break to which you are entitled. Get away from your desk and go to the canteen even if only for a 1/2 hour. You will probably perform more effectively in the afternoon if you've had a chance to clear your mind. If you can, go outside and get some fresh air. Look at the trees, the birds and the clouds - sounds stupid? I never underestimate the effects of connecting with nature. Being chained to the desk does not improve productivity and hopefully you can find somewhere to do your injections and tests along the way. At the risk of being a hypocrite, I write this as somebody who used to work through lunch as a matter of routine, but realised that taking a proper break makes no difference to the workload. There's always more to do and if work isn't getting done then there's always tomorrow. The planet keeps on spinning but one's health (both mental and physical) is at risk if you keep pressuring yourself. [/QUOTE]
