Breakfast at your desk

Depends on the client - last one I was on site regularly. Grab a cinnamon whirl on the way in most days, and get it eaten before the PC had finished logging in.
Other clients I wouldn't have dreamed of doing it.Comment

I object to curries being eaten at the desk, as the smell lingers for hours, days sometimes, and it makes me feel nauseous.
I try to get into work at 7ish, way too early for brekkie in my book, then have one of them pots of porridge about 9, 10ish, depending how hungry I am. Pot, washed, then straight into the recycling.Comment

Eating breakfast at your desk is somewhat down to the organisation you're working at.
Some will think it's ok - other won't.
I regularly have a nice porky sausage roll straight from the hot plate around 8am.Knock first as I might be balancing my chakras.Comment

I object to hot food at the desks, and so do most others. The current client has banned it on some floors, but not all.
The office is a fecking workplace FFS, not a canteen. If you can't spare 15 minutes to feck off and eat hot food somewhere more appropriate, you must be a bit of a tosser at your job.Comment

I will always eat breakfast at my desk, for I get in early, too early to eat. As for eating at my desk, it allows me to check the sport, emails, etc, etc.
I'd say you were trolling to be honest.Comment

On a more serious note, ditch the carbs, get some protein in you and you won't have these energy crashes requiring a top up every couple of hours.Comment

Don't people have homes with breakfasting facilities? I feel crap if I leave home without eating something first.
Brunch at my desk? Maybe.Will work inside IR35. Or for food.Comment
