Its lunchtime here again, and I dont know what to do!

Were right in the centre of town, so i could go for a walk, go to the shops, sit in the measly bit of grass labelled "park". But I bring a packed lunch and have no money for shops and cant really be bothered going for a pointless walk!

So I usually just stay here, org and play solitaire. Everyone plays solitaire, once theyve gone out to get their lunch.

What do you do on your lunchbreak??

And what do you usually eat? I have a sandwich and fruit

I'm about to go get some lunch and come back to our kitchen area and eat it... that's pretty usual for me

big for you sweetie xx

these last few days lunch was so late it was dinner!

Back atcha

Enjoy your lunch!

Since the weather's been nice, if I bring my lunch I go out and sit on Nicollet Mall and eat outside and people watch. Nicollet Mall is a pedestrian and bus only street in downtown Mpls w/lots of outdoor cafes and shops and such. On thursdays there is a farmers market open all down the mall, so I'll wander amongst the carts and vendors, occasionally buying fruit for lunch and I keep meaning to pick up flowers, so maybe I'll do that this coming Thursday.
I usually bring a protein shake and a raw veggie or fruit.
If I don't bring a lunch, I may purchase a bagel, or sometimes I splurge on fish tacos from Baja Tortilla Grill.

: )

I work around the corner from our National Art Gallery, Natural History Museum, and National Library, all of which are great for wandering around at lunch time so that's what I do occasionally.

Although most days the city centre is packed and it takes me so long to battle through the crowds to buy some lunch that by the time I get back to the office I'm sick of the world and just want to queitly eat my lunch while playing Spider Solitaire (far more fun than ordinary Solitaire).

Lunch is always a sandwich, must be made with real, proper bread (with actual fibre and grains in it), must contain some sort of leaves, and must not under any circumstances contain chicken.

i usually try to work through lunch. it makes the day go faster.

I only have a 3 hour break so I hardly have time for lunch and siesta

I dont have enough work to do through the day, let alone lunch...not that Im complaining! They left me with no work to do today so Ive been on the Org all day! I have the feeling Im gonna get a job soon though...

susannah said:

yeah, it's the same where i work. we've been going through a lull. i don't get paid for working through lunch anyway, so i just hang out and if someone says anything about it, i just say "oh, i was just about to clock out for lunch, yeah..." - but i'm usually occupied with SOMEthing.

Depends, really...

My office is only 5 minutes from the city centre so I have a range of options.

If it's a Monday, I always go into town and do my usual Monday morning music hunt. (I expect some US Orgers do this on a Tuesday). Even if I know something isn't out, I still have a look. You never know.

Most days I like to pop to Sainsburys, pick up a newspaper, then pick up some lunch, come back to the office and Org.

I try not to go into town if I can help it, especially on weekends. Too packed, too many idiots, too annoying.

Im gonna have to start aimlessly wandering on my lunch. I sit here all day! And my back hurts because I sit here all day Theres nothing to do though!

The last week or so I've been sitting outside with a book or paper and just enjoying the sunshine, really. But - unless I've got something specific to do; say, I've got to get a birthday card or search for non-existent albums - then I usually come back to the office. It's just nice to get a bit of fresh air and stretch your legs. (And get out of this hell hole ).

There's nothing worse than window shopping. Of course, if I had an endless supply of money I'd be out there buying things left, right and centre. I'd be coming in from my lunch laden with about 5 different shopping bags every day. But that's not my job. That's the Managers'.





And watch that back!

onenitealone said:

Id be buying things too! even just my lunch

I think I will start doing that...maybe!

the suns just come out now! If it was out earlier I would have sat out.

Although I did end up going out in the end and buying chocolate!

You know what? I think I'll go and get my lunch.

See you in a bit.

I usually go out with coworkers and it's usually salad...although, I've had a nasty case of tonsillitis, so it's been soup lately.

applekisses said:

That's the worst. I have horrible tonsils, they really should be taken out. If I get sick, they LITERALLY touch each other.

They're swollen even when I'm healthy.

jerseykrs said:

I had tonsillitis on and off for years before they took mine out you should get them out!

susannah said:

It took forever to find a doctor that would take them out at my age. Now that I HAVE found one, I don't have the thousand dollar deductible for the surgery.

jerseykrs said:

Same here. They really don't want to remove them...which is really stupid, if you ask me.

i walk up the block to shinders bookstore and browse through all the magazines n'such for a bit. i refuse to stay in the office on my lunch break!

Mostoften, around lunchtime, I am just getting out of bed.
