I spend all morning looking forward to lunch--haha! <br /><br />I am fortunate in that I live very close to where I work, and I almost always go home for lunch. If I didn't want to go home though, we have a very nice lunch room. We also have a really nice sandwich and soup place on our block that's serves great lunches.
