to be allowed to eat my dinner at my desk in peace

[stoppinattwo]

without people commenting on my home made (last nights tea) bolognese...and then coming over for a sniff ...if they gave me somewhere to go and eat it in peace I would!!!!!!!

god,that stinks, I can smell you from here

don't you get a lunch break? I thought that's law.

Get away from your desk!

watch it missus or i might accidentally slip on my way backto the kitchen!!! this bolognese sauce takes some getting out!!!!!

hecate....I get a break but i want to eat my dinner in peace...and mumsnet!!! without people inpsecting my lunch!!!

I'm eating lunch at my desk so I can MN too

Ryvita and soup here (on pre-xmas diet)

I always think getting a lunch break but having no where to go is the most pointless thing. You end up staying at your desk so you can sit down and doing work anyway because it's there...

YANBU.

But perhaps they are all jealous that you've got something yummy and they've got a dried up sandwich!

Pre-children I worked in an aircraft hangar at the end of the runway. There was NO-WHERE to go to eat my lunch, so I HAD to have it at my desk. I didn't want to go and sit at the perimeter fence or on the hangar floor for my lunch!
