Eating lunch at your desk has one of the most depressing thoughts imaginable. I don't know how people do it, and I set my own hours.

I go out, with friends, colleagues, clients, whatever. I try to find interesting places to eat, avoid franchises and just try to relax and have some good conversation.
 
either go home to make lunch/relax/let the dog out or go to the local pool hall and shoot a couple games out.
 
I usually drive home, make a quick lunch, watch a bit of TV and head back to work. The shorter my lunch break, the earlier I'm out of work.

Right about what I do. I live about 5 minutes from home, so it's pretty nice to just head back and whip something up really quick.

I can go either way. Meals are just fuel, I couldn't care less if I talk to people while putting food in my body.

I'm at home and have to force myself to take a proper lunch... usually eating is only 15 mins but I will open up a tv episode and watch for a full 45.

Something like a batting cage would be great... too bad it's somewhat far away. I've often thought of going to play open hockey but that would end up taking 2 hours with the changing and showering.
 
MWF I go to the gym (1 block away) and play either racketball or basketball. TTh I sit in the lunch room with co-workers and play Spades.

I call shens. Nobody actually tunes to the Hallmark Channel.
 
2 or 3 days out of the week I drive home (I live like a mile away), like I did today. I just made myself a sandwich and watched this week's Chuck. Time to head back to the office now. 🙂
