Mark and Mary shared a cubicle in a big call center.
Given the overtime targets in order to ensure they had high enough "utilization", people in this workplace didn't see home very often, so the company spent some small efforts to ensure the workers were as comfortable as possible with a minimal investment of monies.
It was strange, of course, since they were actually there to take calls from customers in the Asia Pacific region, which included India. They'd all been provided training in the culture their callers would expect, even taking the names assigned to them and, while speaking English, would still use an accent the caller was used to.
With their screens going blue with "Break Time" in large letters, they pushed back from their ends of the cubicle, pulled out the cushion from under the desk and, with just a little bit of extra foreplay, put their bodies together.
Sure, they were in a hurry. The company did not want to lose too much time on break, so they were budgetted up to ten minutes to get each other off, ten more minutes to clean up, and a final ten minutes to get a lunch that they'd need to bring back to their desk.
By now Mary had no problem reaching climax in less than ten minutes; Heck, she'd gotten to the point where, given Mark's accumulated endurance, that she could come twice in the ten minutes. Today, though, she'd been playing with herself for the last hour in anticipation of this break, and, so, came within the first minute of Mark's attentions... and up to twice a minute until Mark finished, just before the ten minute window was up.
It was quick to put the cushion away and run to the shared bathroom where they rinsed in the shower, got dried off in a warm air drier, and used the toilets. Next, it was off to gather their lunch.
Once back at their desks they were each ready to take calls, several seconds ahead of the timer.
It was at the end of their work day, as they were accounting for their time, that Mary asked a question that shocked Mark to his toes:
"Mark, hon, which workitem do I use for a productive sex break? I usually use the non-productive code, you know, CCNONPRO, with activity code MF0069, but, given the current situation, I need to go back and re-claim one of our breaks two weeks ago as productive."
