Had a silver lining in a rough week

I work retail, grocery, front end. “Courtesy Clerk”, bottom of the food chain grunt work. Of course, like everywhere, we're understaffed, and it's a holiday weekend, and there's a big sale. So its been long, hard hours for the same crappy pay. But, towards the end of my shift, I asked my two other coworkers if they'd be fine with me taking an extra break- and they both just said they didn't give a shit. And ended up joining me in the break room. Our manager had left early, and no one noticed us gone, relaxing for a short ten minutes before going back to it… it really revitalized my energy for a little bit. A golden little moment of “disobedience” that didn't really hurt anything.
