How long is your lunch break?

[d10]

Standard is 11:30-1pm, but that usually stretches into 2 hours, and if I feel like taking more or taking it at a different time it's not a problem.

I usually take about 15 minutes.

I've never really worked in an office job for an extended period of time but I don't understand the idea of a defined lunch break for office workers. Or a defined workday for that matter, my mom's office requires people to be there between some key hours of the day so they can schedule meetings accordingly but other than that it's work whenever you need to to get your job done. I think that's how it should be, people are on salary anyway.

garcia,

i eat whatever i feel like so i occasionally eat a lunch-type sandwich for breakfast:

peppered turkey, munster cheese, lettuce, tomato, onion, dijon, salt/pepper, olive oil on a hero.

but a real breakfast sandwich is:

everything bagel, fried egg, meat product of your choice, hot sauce!

however a delicious sandwich is chix parm on a hero, or a meatball sub on a baguette!


in a nyc finance job, lunch break is the 15 min it takes to grab lunch and get back. add 20 min to eat and read online newspapers and catch up on rumors.

15 min for a espresso/coffee run. the timing across asset classes usually goes as . . ..

2:30 PM for commodities
3 PM for FX and Fixed Income
4 PM for equities

As a chef, my lunch hour is always different. Sometimes, I don't get a lunch hour. Other days I do. Sometimes you have to eat on the fly.
