But i'm out by 3:00, so it's not like i have a long, dragging day afterwards </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-take-an-early-lunch-at-work#post-253250 Thu, 09 Aug 2012 14:19:12 +0000 ladyfingers 253250@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I go at noon just because I'm so starving by then that a snack just won't even work. I work from 9-6. And the day totally drags after lunch. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-take-an-early-lunch-at-work#post-253218 Thu, 09 Aug 2012 13:49:10 +0000 JennyLayneAZ 253218@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I start work at 7 and take lunch at 11. I don't mind because most people go at 12, so that hour goes by quickly since its so quiet around here. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-take-an-early-lunch-at-work#post-253195 Thu, 09 Aug 2012 13:28:29 +0000 Running Elley 253195@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I start at 8 and take lunch at 1.

I try to last longer but usually need food and a mental break before then! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-take-an-early-lunch-at-work#post-253146 Thu, 09 Aug 2012 12:57:29 +0000 MrsBrewer 253146@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Everyone at my work has to take lunch between 12:30-1:30. I get SOOO hungry by 12 that I normally just start snacking then though </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-take-an-early-lunch-at-work#post-253138 Thu, 09 Aug 2012 12:49:02 +0000 wheres_c 253138@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was forced to take my lunch between 11.30 and 12.30 at my last job. I hated it - the day dragged on.</p> <p>At this job I can go whenever. If I go somewhere sit-down or run errands, I go around 1/1.30. If I want to go somewhere I know is busy, I try to go around 11.50 to beat the lines. </p> <p>Today I went to Froots at 12.30 and it was PACKED. It took 30 min to get my wrap. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-take-an-early-lunch-at-work#post-253129 Thu, 09 Aug 2012 12:42:53 +0000 Modern Daisy 253129@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Wow you guys are lucky, whenever I try to buy lunch before noon I get ignored by the employees who are setting up for the lunch crowds!</p> <p>I don't have a set lunch time since I'm salaried, but I'll usually go later so there's less time left in the work day when I get back. I eat a snack at 11 so I'm not starving. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-take-an-early-lunch-at-work#post-253077 Thu, 09 Aug 2012 12:00:20 +0000 Clementine 253077@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@highwire: yep, i just hate waiting in line! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-take-an-early-lunch-at-work#post-253075 Thu, 09 Aug 2012 12:00:00 +0000 autumnlove 253075@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I start at 6 and eat at 12! 1pm seems to the the most popular lunch time in our area! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-take-an-early-lunch-at-work#post-253070 Thu, 09 Aug 2012 11:57:09 +0000 DillonLion 253070@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Clementine: OH yeah no lines at 1130 is a big bonus! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-take-an-early-lunch-at-work#post-253068 Thu, 09 Aug 2012 11:56:55 +0000 DillonLion 253068@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrsbells: One more stick to go in about 45 minutes.

How is your glucose test going? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-take-an-early-lunch-at-work#post-253059 Thu, 09 Aug 2012 11:51:15 +0000 DillonLion 253059@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have to sort of straddle the lunch hour with another employee so someone is there to cover the phones. I go from 1130-1230 and she goes 1230-130. I don't mind going earlier, since I'm usually hungry by then anyway. The day doesn't feel like it drags afterwards. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-take-an-early-lunch-at-work#post-253057 Thu, 09 Aug 2012 11:50:06 +0000 Mrsbells 253057@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I start work at 8am and most people in my office have lunch at 12 but I usually go at 1pm and that way by the time i get back to my desk I only have 3 more hours til the end of the day. This one guys starts at 9am but still always has lunch before 12 and then he complains about how much the day drags afterwards.<br /> Do you take an early lunch too? </p>
