In my office, "lunch time" can last about 3 hours - I eat at 11:00 - the guy in the next cube over eats at 1:00. This is advantageous when we need someone able to respond at all hours. Offices that support customers in multiple time zones often encourage business units to have workers who come in early and workers who come in late - maximizing the time when workers will be available. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
