[A knight without armor]

Your vanity post may seem silly to some people but this subject has really irked me for years.

Yes, I hate that half hour. I've never been in a position to negotiate lunch or no lunch with an employer. Even with "flex time" you have to factor in lunch. In all my working life I have rarely ever, ever taken a half hour lunch. It would have been some rare occasion. I'm not going to go and just sit somewhere for a half hour.

I never understood this famous "9-5" mantra. That would be a no lunch 8 hour day which would be fine with me but it is not very common.

My favorite job was working 8 am to 6 pm without a lunch break. I only worked 4 days a week, 10 hours a day. It was great!
