F... eating at work

I always bring my lunch to work. It gives me a chance to read the paper. I hate going out because I feel so rushed and I can't enjoy my meal. Not like I even work hourly or anything, but I get so freaking busy at work it seems like if I'm not there I miss something important...

I DO hate the parties, though. I mean, its not like anyone's there because the really care or anything, but they just want a piece of cake...

and have you ever had a lady at work bring in something they made and were very proud of that tasted like garbage and then you told them it tasted like garbage????

you'll make an enemy for life... just warning you...

At my old job, I took an hour for lunch...was able to go out and enjoy myself and not feel rushed. Since my commute is now 90 minutes each way, I try to cram everything I can into 8-8.5 hours. Which includes eating lunch at my desk, while trying to read over html code. Or if I run out to do errands, I always bring food back and eat it here. For the most part, it's 2 sandwiches, some fruit and a yogurt.

My boss's AA organizes a potluck every 4-6 weeks. Which is cool because you can sample what other people call food. For the most part, it's good...and you learn who's food to avoid. Today, my boss is having a retirement "open house", with food. Sandwiches, wraps, salad, cookies and brownies.

But I certainly understand where Matty's coming from. Everytime someone brings something in, you feel a certain obligation to try it...

I don't get any breaks, so I have to eat at my desk. I really hate it, because my office sucks the big one. It's about 15x15 feet, with no windows, hotter than Satan's asshole, with several computers running that sound like helicopters, tractors, locomotives, etc -- and I share it with another person. There's about 5 square feet of space to move -- literally.

Yeah, I don't get any "breaks", per se, but that doesn't mean I work non-stop (or even much at all) :)

For someone like myself who trys to avoid carbs, the office is very unforgiving. I feel like the little kid in those commercials getting approached by drug dealers at the playground.

That's EXACTLY how I'm feeling right now. I'm trying to drop about ten pounds before my wedding and there's ALWAYS some kind of cake and shit laying around. Just this week our department AND the University have huge Christmas parties going on.

So here's the question:

What food items do you keep at work?

Me, bag of chips or microwave popcorn and the biggest bottle of ibuprofen I can find.

I happen to appreciate when there are cookies or cake (or PIZZA!) in the kitchen near my office.

Then again, I have an insanely high metabolism and get hungry every 2 hours and can't gain a pound to save my life.

Jack Daniels mini-bottles and lunch meats.

I have gum and ibuprofen at my desk... that's it.

Mostly just crack and beer. It gets me through the day.
