Just wondered what everyone else does.
Personally, I NEVER stay at my desk. And, being a bit of a miserable git, I generally don't go to lunch with the permies (hate having to make conversation during my time).
Usually don;t work through either because a lot of client dont seem to like this. And, of course, no-one notices if you work lunch but can guarantee will notice if you leave 30 mins early. In fact, I tend not to stick to just 30 mins sometimes for the same reason - people notice if you take a short lunch and leave early-ish - better not to rush and stay a bit later.
Like to get away from things.
If I've got the car with me, I usually go and eat my sarnie in the car, listen to radio, read the paper, have a kip etc.
Not to easy if you're on the train of course. Client canteens can be a bit dire. Sometimes I'll go to gym if theres one close.
Only so many times you can go for a walk. Pub sometimes.
(although I did have one client who seemed to think they could say no-one was allowed to go to the pub at lunchtime WTF!)
