When is lunch for you at work?

[Lysander]

I am eating lunch today at 12.30pm!! Utter madness. Normally I do it at around 1.30pm. What time do you normally have lunch at work?

What a thrilling thread. Looking forward to other peoples' anecdotes of their luncheon chronologies. I try to keep standards high here.

eating al desco and occasionally a pub lunch.

I didn't know "al desco" was a phrase, that's amusing.

As for a pub lunch, I don't do those anymore at work. One pint at lunch and then I just don't care about work for the afternoon [or I care even less].

12:00 for half and hour

Why? I mean... what time do you start work?

 

[Lysander]

I start work at 04:30 but I also only eat breakfast at 07:30 and then a full meal at 12:00 and thats it

Makes sense then. That's an early start. What do you do?

 

[Lysander]

Whenever I get time or hungry
But today, now

13.05? That's insane.

Having cashew nuts and blueberries

Chicken/stuffing sandwich and Doritos here. The stuff of dreams.

@Relentless81 I never actually take a lunch break. I'm always at my desk.

It also had the benefit of making my afternoon very, very short.

I also used to do this at my old work place. I used to take lunch at around 2.30pm if I could. That made the 'afternoon' only a couple of hours.

You should imo, getting up and away from desk is important, I have back problems from desk posture and I need to get away for a minute to refresh my brain

Good idea, I'm leaving now.

I have a mate who had a similar mindset, late lunch means a short afternoon, but I never really bought into that, because it means a long morning. Personally I don't see why an afternoon that drags is worse than a morning that drags (especially if it means less chance of getting hungry).

When I used to work in an office however I did like going out for lunch at 'unusual' times however because it meant less queues to buy stuff, although leave it too late and it sometimes meant less food to choose from.

I get it inasmuch I tend to get more done in the mornings, I have more energy and I'm more productive. In the afternoon I get much less done so for me, at least, a longer morning makes more sense.
