Default what do you do for lunch?

I am a bean counter.... we don't socialize very well..... I NEVER go to lunch with people..... I almost always go to the gym, then eat my lunch at my desk.

I see my neighbor once in a while with a freaking mini-van full of peeps from his work....... I don't think I could stand hanging out with 4-5 guys for lunch on a regular basis.

i work the normal 8:00-5:00pm with the standard 1.5-2 hour lunch..

what do you guys normally do for lunch?

I usually go with co-workers 2-3 times a week (anyhwere from 1 other to 4 other people). The other times I just go by myself because I don't feel like seeing/talking to any of them.

I have about 150 sales people and sales managers banging on my door at any one time. I could eat every meal (breakfast ,lunch and dinner)on someone elses tab. I eat healthier when I eat at my desk though.

My preference is to go with a group or with a friend. I'd say that works about 3 days a week. Most people in my office are cheap and brown bag it.

If I don't find a lunch companion it is Cup O Noodles and a walk around the lake down the street, or errands. About a 2 mile trail around the lake is nice to have near the office.

Either alone or with my boss. I was never big on lunch with large groups of coworkers.

Lunch? What is that?



Honestly, I do not even have time for lunch these days.

I can do either, but I prefer alone with a good book. It helps me unwind and relax.

But then I am a little different. My last personality test said I was a serial killer. I kid you not! I didn't get the job because of it.

I can be very happy orchestrating the group and I can be equally happy off in the corner all by myself.

99% of the time I grab some fast food and bring it back to work... since I'm a retail manager I try not to disappear from work for too long, plus we don't do regular lunch hours like a cubicle type job.

I usually just head out to pick up some lunch and then eat it at my desk. I can't really afford to be out of the office for long or all hell breaks loose.
