I've been walking at lunchtime for over 10 years. For some reason, co-workers think they're being friendly and companionable when they come along. I hate hearing the cheerful: "Hey I'll come and walk with you."
NO. That's my time to be away from you guys. I use that time to think about what I have to do in the afternoon, what I need to include in the report that I'm writing, how I'm going to fix the sticky door in the basement, or what I'm going to get for my wife for her birthday. I don't want to discuss the merits of partially deflated footballs.
I find that I have to sneak out the door when nobody is looking.
