    I had a rookie quite a while back we were training to be a tinner. He brought no lunch and wanted to just keep working. I told him thats ok if you dont want to eat, you can just take a break. He claimed he didnt want to take a break but I told him that thats fine if he keeps up the pace but he didnt. He thought that just standing around watching us eat and talking was just like work. I got rid of him after a week when he took the tools we got him home and forgot to bring them to work the next morning. He was just plain lazy. Now if it were a good worker and he didnt want to take a break for lunch , that would be ok it he didnt go downhill from no energy from not eating.

    Matt I'm talking skip lunch, no pack no buy, just buy a bunch of cheescrackers or something like that and grab a couple in the morning and take some water with ya.

    Just the other day I spilled the contents of a Taco down the front of me and while having the window open to toss as much as I could scrap off out the window it got so muggy in my truck that my back started to sweat. Does that count?

    I don't usually drink beer.

    I take a sandwich, chips, 30ish oz of water, usually some sort of dessert (snack size candy bars, canned fruit, jello ect). Also take 1/2 gallon of water with me, and typically take a 24oz diet pepsi with me in the morning.

    We (co-workers) usually eat out every friday, I think it's a pretty decent moral booster to have a relaxing lunch and BS for a bit. Sometimes the company even buys.. oddly enough thats when the food tastes really good.

    Insullated jug of water and any leftovers in the fridge. I use to do the large bottle of mountain dew with a package of those small waxy chocolate donutes for breakfast. The large bottle of mountain dew would last all day. Quit that quite a few years back when I heard mountain dew will give you kidney stones.
