I second the nomination for principal/administrator of the year
for this principal!
Toward the end of last year my principal actually told me the
library could not be closed to students at any point during the
school day. Doors open, lights on, staffed, the whole deal.
Since it is impossible for my aide and I to take separate
lunches, we eat in the office and have a "working lunch."
every
day. I haven't forced the issue with him because there is NO
way I'd want anyone else other than my trusty sidekick and
myself within 100 yards of my library. I can only imagine the
havoc they could wreak over the course of a 40-minute lunch.
As for me, my lunch used to be an apple, granola bar, and
yogurt, but now that I'm expecting I've really beefed it up.
Otherwise I have no chance of lasting the afternoon. I bring
anything from soup to dinner leftovers to sandwiches.
I also have to agree with the poster who mentioned nut
butters
for lasting energy. I have peanut butter toast for breakfast
every
morning and nothing keeps me going through the morning
better!

that I take at least 1/2 an hour lunch AWAY FROM THE
LIBRARY ! She had numerous reasons for this, some of
which
included: networking/meeting the staff, unwinding from a long
morning, let my hair down and relaxing, and getting to
recharge
my "work" battery for the long afternoon.
