49 mins confidence: peer agreement (net): +4 working at the kitchen table, not at the desk
Explanation:
I don't think it has anything to do with cooking, given your "accounting" sub-heading.
I think this refers to the kind of work one does at the kitchen table, to catch up, rather than the organised work done at the desk. It's work done when there is a little spare time, hence not counted on an hourly basis.
