WFH? What do you do during your lunchbreak?

34 comments

1. I lift weights in my garden gym if it’s not raining

2. This, or watch TV.

3. If it’s nice outside, I potter around the garden for a bit. Pull up a couple of weeds, deadhead a few summer pot plants, de-dogturd the lawn etc. Might have a sit as well.
   If it’s raining or cold, I usually read for about 20 mins instead.

4. I only got to work from home for a couple of days in my last job whilst on a training course, but I was managing to clean up, make lunch and my evening meal and even squeeze in a bit of a nap some of the days

5. Lunchbreak? My entire day is my lunchbreak.

6. Eat lunch, sometimes go for a walk, or go to the shops – often mixed with some fucking about on Reddit.

7. Cook lunch. Eat it watching tv. Wash up. Walk the dog. That’s pretty much an hour there.

8. Sleep

9. Eat lunch and do the laundry/other household chores.

10. This, watching something on the tv or laptop or I end up playing a game on the Xbox

11. Each lunch and walk the dog, sometimes at the same time 🙂

12. I read, currently having an existential crisis with *On the Origin of Time*

13. I just make and eat my lunch and get straight back to work.

    Then I use that extra time as reason to justify finishing earlier in the day.

    If I’m working from home, I’m much better rested and don’t feel I need a proper break in the middle of the day.

14. I have lunch

15. wank

16. make a sandwich eat a sandwich, play games, check reddit, bathroom , tea.

17. Back during Covid I figured out a 2.6 mile walk to try on my lunch break (and our once daily allowed exercise) – my challenge was to beat my time each day…

    …we all went a bit nutty during lockdown

18. [deleted]

19. The wife and I usually watch an episode or two of whatever sitcom we’re watching (currently Scrubs). If she’s away I’ll watch one of my dramas (just about to finish Silo). But today, I took myself for lunch at a really nice Sichuan restaurant nearby (Yikouchi in Birmingham, which I highly recommend).

20. Go for a run if the weather is ok and I have a weekly yoga class. Otherwise I do household stuff and sit on my arse.

21. Eat lunch and go for a walk. Do some shopping if needed.

22. Yeah, either a wank or a cycle. Maybe both if I have time. Not at the same time, though.

23. I tend to eat at my desk – means I get to finish on time or close to.

24. Driving range or 9 holes. I have a long lunch!

25. – play with my dogs
    – play Diablo 4
    – pester my wife (also wfh)

    No, “pester my wife” is not a euphemism for the old “in/out”…

26. Go gym. The gym is quiet between 12-2pm

27. Make and eat lunch, chat to my husband and either listen to a podcast or watch something on YouTube.

28. Catch up on YouTube channels that I follow, mainly.

29. Lunchtime walk, fresh air

30. Smoke a fat zoot, and jump on reddit for a bit.

31. Workout…

    10 minutes cycling, press ups, squats. Only takes 20 minutes

    Fyi; I don’t like doing it, it’s hard work, I only do it on the off chance I don’t get cancer or die in a freak accident, so I can have a more mobile and healthy life in old age

32. Watch YouTube, a movie or something else
    Go on my phone and text people or go for a walk after eating
    My work monitor is ridiculously big about the size of most well off family living room tvs
    Best pet is everyone in the office can see it
    Terrifier didn’t go down too well when I watched that

33. Walk (not a typo).

34. I usually read web comics
