Sammiches, if done right, are not gross when packed for lunch - even when made the night before. Spaghettios (and related canned goods) require a can opener and a bowl - both easily tossed in a bag the night before. If you're in an office 10-2, chances are good there's a microwave nearby. Leftovers from last night's dinner are great lunches. You can also grab something pre-made from a convenience store on the way in (yes, this does require 5 extra minutes).

It's not mean when you have a better setup than most people get.

I COULD. but I, like the rest of my generation live in a me me me world and when all 9 of my coworkers get lunch breaks and I don't, I think its BS.

Especially considering my apartment is 2 floors above my head.

Do all 9 of them have the exact same shift as you? Shift as in hours worked etc?

Same hours. Different task. We rotate by week. I have to sit in the office IN CASE SOMEONE NEEDS SOMETHING. (which they never do) I see about 3 people a day.

and they go to every building on campus and do random tasks assigned to them. I don't want to be gone for an hour. I want to be able to walk away for five minutes, put something in the oven and then come back, and go upstairs 10 minutes later and get it.

I'm not supposed to though.

So are they actually getting lunch breaks, or are they grabbing lunch while they "go to every building on campus and do random tasks assigned to them?"

You work 10-5 with a break at 2. Eat breakfast when you roll out of bed at 930 and before you make your two floor commute, pack a lunch, or wait until 2. You do get a break, its just not when you want it to be.

Why debate the minutia? She's lucky to have a job at all and she's whining like a spoiled, self-absorbed, attention whoring brat that she is.
Take it with a grain of salt and move on.

But that takes initiative. How do you all not understand I'm selfish and want what I WANT because I WANT IT.

gosh
