Back on the March 2nd I blogged about why it's hard to 'stop' for half an hour three times a day.

It's got no easier, but I've realized that I missed a fifth reason. Shame or embarrassment. Whenever I go for a 'stop' I always feel nakedly as if the eyes of other Library staff are on me. Judging me. Mentally berating me for slacking off.

It's not helped by the fact that I have to pass either the enquiry desk or the issue desk or both.

I'm sure it's largely in my head - although one junior colleague did once make a comment - but it's still something to deal with.
