I never used to but I decided yesterday I'm going to start. I've been heating up my lunch and taking it to go eat at a outdoor plaza near by.
Don't know what I'm going to do when it gets cold!

Not really. I eat at my desk and surf the Web or read. But I don't take the whole hour. Sometimes I run to Target or other errands.

I usually don't. I probably should take a break more often than I do. I usually just eat at my desk. Although yesterday I took my first "lunch" break in a while, and went with a co-worker to Ulta.

Some days yes, some days no. I also take long lunches once every 3 months or so without guilt. I think it all evens out.

Yes! I can't just sit at my desk. I would go crazy. I have 3 other co-workers that I eat with. We usually sit in the break room, but we try to sit outside when the weather is nice, and we usually go out to eat once a week.

Sometimes. If the weather is crappy, I usually just heat up my lunch in the office if I brought it, or get something to bring back to my desk if I didn't. During the summer, I'm more likely to eat lunch outside and soak up some vitamin D. Also, DH works nearby so we sometimes have lunch together. I don't feel bad taking longer on those days because I usually don't take more than a few minutes so it evens out. But my work is really flexible and nobody is looking over my shoulder about it...in the past, I have also worked at places that were very strict about taking all your time but not a minute more.

Yes! I sit at my desk and eat but I normally watch a TV show on Netflix on my computer! Or I have to go home and let my dog out on lunch.

Always. The entire office shuts down and locks up and goes home, I love it! I live across the street from our main office, so I get a little nap/relaxation in over the hour break on my cozy couch. On days we have trial prep or need a meeting, the boss pays for lunch out, so even those work lunches are a nice treat.

Not usually. If I work through my lunch breaks while I am eating I get to leave early on Fridays or flex my schedule to fit appointments or other things that may come up.
I would rather get a few hours off at once at the end of the week than an hour or so each day.

Always, every day, not matter what. It's really important and it's build into my pay, so I might as well take it!

Sometimes. IF I have my lunch, I'll eat it at my desk and work/play. If I don't, I'll go out. Sometimes I go out just to go shopping.

Always. Most of the time I do sit at my desk and eat but I surf the web. Sometimes I'll go out to eat or run some errands. When the weather is nice, I like to go for a walk. I think I'll start going to a park nearby and read the HB book club book. It's probably good for me to get away from the computer.

I eat at my desk with my door closed. Sometimes I do work, but mostly I spend the hour catching up on non-work related computer stuff and hitting my favorite websites.

Every single day. We have a free cafeteria, so departments go down to lunch together. It's actually discouraged to eat at your desk.
Before working here, I would rarely take my lunch breaks. I was hourly, so taking a lunch break delayed my going-home time!

I didn't used to, but I have a co-worker who is really sociable and always asking me to eat lunch, and I am easily persuadable!

almost always. i like to go upstairs to the cafe and chat. sometimes i'll take my 'lunch' and go to PT or go run an errand.

My lunch break consists of eating with my LO at home. When I was working I was only given a 30 minute unpaid lunch, and I would eat at my desk. I still answered phone calls though.

It's about 50/50. I will usually eat in the lunch room or go out. Or eat at my desk if I have a lot to do.

I WAH, but I take at least 30min every day to eat and check HB and NOT eat at my desk.

I always take my lunch. We are given an hour, and I really need that hour away from my desk. In our office, if you eat at your desk, people will still ask you questions and expect you to be working. So I take my break and have fun with my coworkers.

Always. We have a 30 minute unpaid lunch, and it's taken out of your paycheck regardless. It's a nice break in my day!

Always, I always go home to let out my dog and hang with him for a while, eat then come back to work

Almost never. If I do it's just long enough to run and grab something and come back.
