Reply to: Breakfast at your desk

[socialworker]

It's the crisps that get me. Current colleague starts on them at 10am.

Don't people have homes with breakfasting facilities? I feel crap if I leave home without eating something first.

Brunch at my desk? Maybe.

Working away three days a week. Coffee and Juice and then out the door. I also cycle to the office so eating immediately before getting on the bike is a bad idea anyway.

Working away, sometimes it's easier to grab something in the office (and be paid for it) than in a crappy hotel.

From what I can see, it's not most others that object, not from the, albeit limited, posts on here.

I'd say you were trolling to be honest.

I meant it's most where I work. Being a fairly transient office nothing is done. It doesn't even have to be most people.

We are contractors... I'd rather be paid to eat than do it on my own time....

I object to curries being eaten at the desk, as the smell lingers for hours, days sometimes, and it makes me feel nauseous.

Try the friendly approach, suggest that bacon sarnies are more appropriate in the UK by leaving one on their keyboard at least it's Ramadan at the moment.

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.

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.

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.

Who with the what now?

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.

Cottaging aside, what do you have to eat for breakfast. I mean comestible wise.

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.

Note: in the banks where I have been employed it is normal to bring breakfast in Tiffin tins and eat stood in the panty.

troll?

[TheFaQQer]

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.

In a bank unless you have breakfast and lunch at your desk you are a wimp.

What about hedge fund?
