To look for his "Break Buddy"

Rick stepped out his small office - one of the few perks working in R&D, was that everyone except the most junior employees had a little office alone or with a "roomie"instead of having to work in a cubicle farm.

He had worked four hours without actually talking to anybody. And while he prefered to work in solitude, he was a rather sociable guy. Time to look if his favorite break buddy was still here too and get some banter and gossiping going.
