What do you do in your lunch break?
« on: October 11, 2011, 11:37:59 PM »
This is probably only for those who work part or full time (although any students who do something interesting, feel free). What do you do on your lunch break?

Right now, I'm at the WACA watching state cricket (US equivilant would be AAA baseball, I guess). The stadium is a five minute walk from the office, and state games are free of charge, which is awesome.

Can anyone top that? :D
I punch those numbers into my calculator and they make a happy face.

Nothing. Servers don't get lunch breaks at most jobs. You just find a way to dick around for a minute here and there :'( At least I don't let it make me a smoker like many whom do so primarily because they think it'll get them extra free time on the job despite the fact that they constantly have to put out their joe after just one drag.

Well, I almost always eat :p

At the liquor store it's rarely an actual "lunch" break because I work a lot of nights, but generally I just sit to the side and eat just in case we get a rush of customers because it will often just be me and one other person and I don't want to leave that person screwed even though I'm technically entitled to leave. For hospice I eat in my car a lot.
Oh Jackie, always jumping to the most homoerotic possibility.

Totally with you on the eating part loney. Where I work we have a lot of fried seafood baskets sold so they tend to keep a mixing bowl of seasoned fries under the lamp since whatever doesn't sell in 15 minutes just gets scavenged by the staff any way  :lol Also in regard to your post Jackie, I used to eat in my car at some jobs but unless I'd just gotten some great new music I hated how it cuts me off from all socialization but retains all the outside noise and general annoyance since cars are far from sound-proof.

I eat, and then I wander the streets of our city (I have an hour's time to kill). I usually go to the library for a while, or take a short walk in the woods before I head back to work.

My senior year of High School (aka the 9 months I spent sitting in adult ed sleeping... shhhh) I used to spend my lunch hour hanging out in the cemetery across the street. Twas so peaceful.  That is until students started smoking pot and going in there to fight...

And now...  I don't really take lunch breaks (even though I should).. I usually just sit in my office for like 15 minutes and eat something from one of the fast food places in the center... Or  I grab a smoothie from Blenders In The Grass (Great smoothie franchise in So Cali)  and sit somewhere and post on here... Even though I post on here most of the day anyways
I just don't understand what they were trying to achieve with any part of the song, either individually or as a whole. You know what? It's the Platypus of Dream Theater songs. That bill doesn't go with that tail, or that strange little furry body, or those webbed feet, and oh god why does it have venomous spurs!? And then you find out it lays eggs too. The difference is that the Platypus is somehow functional despite being a crazy mishmash or leftover animal pieces

Well...I don't leave my computer. I go warm my food in the micro, which I'll eat in front of the computer. And sometimes, I don't take a break but start working right away, and sometimes I browse different non-work related sites.

Bottom line - I don't get out of my chair. Probably should, but I can't be bothered.

Being in the position I am, I rarely get a proper lunch break. I just bring my lunch to work and eat on the fly.

I usually don't leave the personnel room. Since we never have lunch with any colleague (someone must be in the store at all times) it gets pretty boring. I make my lunch and then eat it reading a book. I always read when I get a break - it helps me relax and feel like I was actually on a break.

But I rarely have lunch, since most of the days are just four or five hours. We get one hour when working full days (10-18).

I'm pretty fortunate and happy that our office has a shower in it because it allows me to get some exercise in during my hour lunch break to where I don't have to worry about trying to exercise once I am home for the night and dealing with the kiddos and all the responsibility stuff that somehow has entered my life. :P
  I can run 5 miles, eat a quick bite and get a shower and then back to work. The area our office building is located in is a very nice, quiet suburb of St. Louis, so with the help of MapMyRun.com I mapped out a 5 mile route through the calm streets of said neighborhood and run that. It is very relaxing and peaceful and a nice break in the day.
