clicky: do you take a lunch break?

Re: clicky: do you take a lunch break?

  • I always end up eating and working at the same time.
  • If I'm in my office, even with the door shut, they think I'm fair game.

    If I want a true break I must leave the building.

    I hope this changes in 2 weeks when I'm at my new job!

  • SS, some days I can and some days it just doesn't happen. I really like to take at least 15-20 minutes to get up, preferably go outside, and get food or even just an iced tea at Starbucks if I did bring my lunch. I'm much more productive if I get up, walk around, clear my head, etc. H works 2 blocks from me, so if we can coordinate our schedules we'll get lunch together.

    But, more often than not I work through lunch. I don't like to, but it's what happens.

    This :)

  • yes and no. i eat lunch at my desk (bc i'm a loser like that). i may or may not work through it, depends if something comes up. but i don't "count it against" anybody if i have to work during my "lunch", i take mini breaks throughout the day for snacks and nesting that it all evens out. sometimes i have meetings during lunch too-- only if it's super long and annoying, i'll "count it against" them, and claim half hour overtime.

  • I love living on the eastside. I get an hour lunch and I get to run home eat, relax and go back to work with time to spare. Wink

  • The people at my work always stop and eat lunch together. I think it kind of weird.

  • I'm union if I don't take one I get in trouble and I'm not allowed to work on it. If I were to work on it I could get fired.

    my h does this too. but everyone on his team is our-aged (22-32, i think) so they are all very close. they hang out weekends too. and by "they", i mean "they", plus all the wives/husbands/boyfriends/girlfriends.... it bugs me how close they all are, and sometimes i want my own time, but i'm usually the one "other" that doesn't go...so i try to make an effort.

  • I have to as well. Its the only time during the day that I would have to myself. I don't get little breaks during the day so I'm 'on' from 7-12 then 1-3. Students get the priority. :) I don't usually get that hour off though. Its usually only 30 minutes.
  • I work by myself in the store all day so I can't take a break.
