al desko:
eating something, usually lunch,
at one’s desk.
The expression is a play on the Italian wordal fresco,
which means outdoors or literally in the fresh (air).Admit it.
While scrolling through this newsletter with one hand,
you’re probably eating a Döner or a slice of pizza with the other.
Glance down at your keyboard.
Can you see morsels of bread,
pieces of salad,
bits of dried-out salami?
Don’t worry.
You’re just one of millions of workers
who regularly eat al desko…
