In my previous job I would gauge my lunch break based on my cup of tea. It generally took 20 minutes, uninterrupted, to drink the cup. When the cup was gone, lunch was over, and I would resume doing regular work. Lunch would begin promptly at 1 PM, and if I was lucky I'd be done eating my now cold sandwich at 2, and the tea would be gone by 3 PM. This wasn't because of being lazy, it was simply because I would get interrupted so much. And for the record, nothing tastes quite as bad as cold earl grey where you left the tea bag in.

So you like your tea with cheese...
