I only get 30 minutes for lunch.... I spend 5 of those minutes waiting for students to leave my room, and the last 5 minutes letting them back in.... more than half of the time I don't even eat a full lunch. :(
@Collin1000 I get 30 minutes too. I spend 5 minutes heating up the frozen meal, 15 minutes to eat it. 5 minutes to digest, 5 minutes to clean-up, and finally, the full 30 minutes reflecting on mistakes made that lead me to having a job where lunch can be so regimented.
When I eat, I eat at my desk while working, greeting visitors, staff and students, and answering phones. If I eat, it's either something I scrounged from my desk (hello, Keurig Campbell's soup! Hello, pack of nabs!) or something I ordered for delivery in a fit of reckless starvation. If I had any sense whatsoever, I'd pack my lunch each day at the same time I pack my husband's. But no.
My boss and his wife are amazing cooks, truly spectacular, and they bring leftovers for our lunch nearly every day. They deliberately cook more than necessary for their dinners so that they have stuff to bring the next day. I looooove it. I kind of rather throw myself at their bags of tupperware like an overexcited puppy when they come in every morning. "Ooooh, what're we having today, huh? Huh?" Sometimes they're lazy and so instead we order in Indian or sushi or have twizzlers and chips and cake for lunch. It's a pretty good work life.
One of the best parts of working in a large city is the food spots. I usually spend my lunch hour discovering new food places. Also, thank you Halal carts. I have had some of the best cheap street food from those bad boys.
i pack a lunch most days (ok, ok my wife actually packs a lunch most days) when she doesn't i give her the guilt trip because (as discussed in another thread) i'm an asshole....but it really is only in gist...she's a good sport......even though every day i go home on lunch to let the puppy out of his crate and the other dogs out to potty...so when meals aren't made i scrounge for stuff at the house.

Lunch? I had lunch last week ...
My work provides food free of charge to me. I eat breakfast and lunch at the office. Mercury Network rocks!
I enjoy eating out.
@conandlibrarian
@conandlibrarian me too! (I can hear Butt Head laughing in my head)
Does the cafeteria at work count as going out to eat?
@katbyter is it in the same building?
@thismyusername @katbyter …and if so, how many flights of stairs?
I go out to eat with my friends as a social escape from the day-to-day trudgery of work.
I spin the Wheel of Gastroenteritis and hope I don't get lucky. :)
I like to go out for lunch. I'm lucky because my boss likes to go out too so we go out together often. And we get along very well. I feel blessed.

I'm on the road a lot so I usually grab a couple gas station hot dogs when I fuel up the van and eat while I drive.

We have a good cafeteria at work, so more often than not I have lunch there.
According to Irk - I eat 'some eggs'
