The way the workday works here, for manual labor anyway, is you come to work at 8, and get started. Then the low man goes out and buys breakfast for the group. They get a half hour for breakfast and then go back to work. However, if there is no supervisor present, that half hour can get extended. Understandably. My supervisor quit, last week, over a disagreement with me, so now I am the supervisor. So I cannot leave for a bike ride until after breakfast, at 9 It is frequently too hot to begin a ride, after 10. It can be ok if you're already out there.
