Those are all very relatable reasons! However, my #1 would be I don't want the boss (my father) to think that I'm lazy and the firm won't be in good hands someday :smileyfrustrated: Usually though, I'll just suck it up and ask. I don't mind working a little later in the day if need be to enjoy 30 minutes of sunshine. Usually the fresh air and sun will rejuvenate and refocus my mind and I'm way more productive afterwards!! Cheers!
