We live less than 10 mins from work and it was a nice break in the day. I have a feeling when I go back I'll just stay at work and eat at my desk. DH and I commute together and we used to drive my car, but now we're going to drive his car and I don't think he wants me to put all that extra mileage on his car :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-take-a-lunch-break#post-1431058 Tue, 18 Feb 2014 11:40:22 +0000 cmomma17 1431058@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Always! I cherish the mental break/escape. And with LO in the picture now I actually go to him and nurse! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-take-a-lunch-break#post-1431048 Tue, 18 Feb 2014 11:37:22 +0000 snowjewelz 1431048@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Sometimes, when I feel like socializing I'll go sit w/ the others and chat. Or if I have to run out to Target or something. Otherwise I like to stay in my cube, eat, do a little work, surf online and of course be here! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-take-a-lunch-break#post-1429465 Mon, 17 Feb 2014 15:10:27 +0000 blackbird 1429465@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep. I eat lunch with friends in the cafeteria. I need a mental break. We don't get to "work through lunch" here, so I'm taking it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-take-a-lunch-break#post-1429463 Mon, 17 Feb 2014 15:09:43 +0000 LatteLove 1429463@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>ever since I got pregnant, I go home for lunch almost every day!<br /> in my one hour break, I<br /> drive home (10 min)<br /> make and eat lunch (20 min)<br /> sleep (20 min)<br /> drive back to work (10 min)</p> <p>I couldn't get through the day without it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-take-a-lunch-break#post-1429462 Mon, 17 Feb 2014 15:09:09 +0000 LuLu Mom 1429462@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, but I usually just eat in the breakroom and watch an episode of something on Netflix to "get away" or I'll run errands/go to lunch with a friend. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-take-a-lunch-break#post-1429457 Mon, 17 Feb 2014 15:07:43 +0000 pui 1429457@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I take an hour lunch but I usually eat at my desk. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-take-a-lunch-break#post-1429447 Mon, 17 Feb 2014 15:03:27 +0000 cheert16 1429447@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope- I eat at my desk and work (or go on hellobee and pretend to work!) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-take-a-lunch-break#post-1429443 Mon, 17 Feb 2014 15:01:50 +0000 purrpletulips 1429443@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I typically eat at my desk and do non-work things. If I do go out it is to pick up food and bring it back. We only get 30min so that isn't really enough time to go out and eat somewhere. Occasionally I'll take an hour and have lunch with DH or a former co-worker. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-take-a-lunch-break#post-1429410 Mon, 17 Feb 2014 14:49:31 +0000 Smurfette 1429410@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I always eat at my desk but I usually don't take the hour I am supposed to have. I want to make sure I leave on time. Getting R on time is more important to me! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-take-a-lunch-break#post-1429399 Mon, 17 Feb 2014 14:44:59 +0000 2PeasinaPod 1429399@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I usually never do unless it's to grab something in the cafeteria or outside. Working in a bigger city helps in that there's a place to get lunch within a 5 minute walk. Other than grabbing lunch, I don't usually take the full hour and eat at my desk. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-take-a-lunch-break#post-1429391 Mon, 17 Feb 2014 14:42:58 +0000 Bookish 1429391@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Sometimes, but I never leave my desk. I'm a hermit. I usually use the hour to do homework! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-take-a-lunch-break#post-1429390 Mon, 17 Feb 2014 14:42:52 +0000 Boheme 1429390@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No, I feel guilty since I already spend 90 minutes a day pumping </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-take-a-lunch-break#post-1429384 Mon, 17 Feb 2014 14:41:31 +0000 doodlepoodle 1429384@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I almost never leave for work unless I have errands to run or forgot to pack something. I'm busy enough I usually just eat while I'm catching up on resumes or emails. I close my door so people don't come in to talk to me. I swear I'm some peoples social hour! :P Just because I'm nice doesn't mean I have the time to talk to you! ;-) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-take-a-lunch-break#post-1429269 Mon, 17 Feb 2014 14:03:05 +0000 looch 1429269@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yup. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-take-a-lunch-break#post-1429227 Mon, 17 Feb 2014 13:43:35 +0000 rachiecakes 1429227@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Never. I will soon though, I just hired two new employees.:) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-take-a-lunch-break#post-1429214 Mon, 17 Feb 2014 13:36:30 +0000 cascademom 1429214@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ever since I started working, I eat lunch at my desk. I only go out for errands and to pick up food. I like eating at my desk, checking the Internets (HB), and chilling out. I don't like eating in a cafeteria setting. My boss and I are sort of hermits about it. Just how we are. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-take-a-lunch-break#post-1429213 Mon, 17 Feb 2014 13:36:12 +0000 fussygal 1429213@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep - although I do work through it sometimes. I rarely leave the house to get food and usually just make something here. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-take-a-lunch-break#post-1429211 Mon, 17 Feb 2014 13:35:26 +0000 hotchildinthecity 1429211@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I almost always work through lunch/eat at my desk. I'm usually swamped and I'd rather work through lunch than stay super late. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-take-a-lunch-break#post-1429210 Mon, 17 Feb 2014 13:35:23 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 1429210@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No. I eat after work. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-take-a-lunch-break#post-1429206 Mon, 17 Feb 2014 13:34:30 +0000 Mrs. Pen 1429206@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I bring my own lunch and eat at my desk. I don't work at my desk though because my job involves heavy phone work. I usually HB ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-take-a-lunch-break#post-1429195 Mon, 17 Feb 2014 13:28:48 +0000 DillonLion 1429195@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, but i just hang out in the office lounge </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-take-a-lunch-break#post-1429193 Mon, 17 Feb 2014 13:27:54 +0000 mrsjyw 1429193@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I do not. </p> <p>I kind of stopped leaving during pregnancy... unless I was reallly craving something. And then worked the last five weeks from home. </p> <p>Once i came back to work, I was pumping all the time, so I always ate lunch at my desk. </p> <p>Now it's bitter cold and I like eating at my desk. because I've turned into a social hermit.</p> <p>I work 9-5ish so it all evens out by week's end. </p>
