These are all truely fascinating stories. I applaud every prepress tech who has put their job above and beyond all else - including restroom and lunch breaks. I believe that a good operator will put forth 250% effort into their job.
:clap: HOORAY FOR PREPRESS TECHNICIANS!!! :clap:

I remember hearing a rumor about these things... The story goes that in some shops the work load/expectations allow the prepress operator to get up and walk out of the department for a short time to partake in things called "lunch", or "restroom break".
I don't know if it is true, but it is a good story. :wink:

That's an urban myth. I've heard it first when I was in seventh grade.

I'm confused too.
I've got a bucket under my desk and i eat coffee for lunch. I once broke the bucket, but i don't know of that's the same kind of "break" they're referring to.
