I hate covering for a coworker when they take 3 phone breaks today, strategies?

she just walks out of the lab and nobody gets on her ass for it. I think she might see me as a nice guy. I try to avoid her and I never join the coworkers for social activities because they can gaslight or perpetuate criticism. I eat my sandwich at breaktime with a rest. the rotor finishes spinning the samples to get a fluid for the analytes and beeps before the specimen receptionist loads it up again. Someone has to man the bench itself to unload the samples. Should I: A) take out the blue buckets with the samples from the rotation device and leave them to return to my own work B) Load the urgent samples from the centrifuge and load them on for her because they have a quick need of results C) As a basic grade risk my senior coworkers think I am difficult if I…
