crumbshift
/ˈkrʌmˌʃɪft/nounVerified NewThe desk lunch eaten in working position, crumbs falling into the keyboard, the lunch hour having become a myth.
The shift absorbed the meal: sandwich in one hand, cursor in the other, thirty-one minutes logged "away" counted as a win. Crumbshift is less a habit than a symptom — of workload, of meeting density, of the disappearance of the pause.
Etym. — crumb + shift: the meal reduced to crumbs and fitted inside the shift.
