Sometimes I work through lunch, sometimes it's 1.5 hours, but it averages around an hour.

One excrutiatingly dull hour. The only time the hour doesn't drag is when I have to go somewhere on an errand or I eat lunch out. Then it's never enough time....

I usually go get lunch and bring it back to my cube. So it varies, but not long at all. However, I spend about an hour of "unproductive" time at work per day, so it evens out.

I'd rather work unpaid than sit for an hour being bored. So I eat in ~10 minutes then start back to work.

I just started a new job about 3 months ago, and I take about an hour.

But at my last job, when it was slow, I took however long I wanted. On two occasions, I went home for lunch (20 minute drive to and from) and watched an entire movie at home. I was sometimes gone from 10am to 2pm or later. And no, I didn't get fired, I quit this job. They could have never fired me, I was the only computer literate employee in an idustry driven mostly by technology. Idiots, they just refused to hire more tech people, which is one reason I quit. And I love my new job, surrounded by computer junkies like myself.

I am allowed 1.5 hours for lunch. I hardly ever take it though.

Could you add "I dont take lunch" to the poll?

Most of the time I just work through lunch break. That option is not in the poll though.

technically i get an hour. I usually take between 50 mins and 1.5 hours. Of course, some days it is 30 mins. So...

I think I get 1/2 hour unpaid but I eat in my cube so I tell me boss it's not really like taking a lunch.

Probably less than 30 mins, unless I go out to eat, which isn't that often. I usually have stuff I have to be doing. :(

varies... I work at home and eat whenever and however long I need. I hardly ever go out for lunch so it saves a lot of time (not that I really want to).
