Wow, I have been spoiled.
At one of my old jobs, I was just two blocks from home, so I went home for lunch every day. Best solution ever.
At the record store, I worked with a workaholic who sort of created an environment such that I never had a normal "lunch break" the entire time I worked there. There were only two of us and a dog there all day anyway, so it wasn't like I had any "office culture" to deal with.
I think I would have a hard time in your situation, gmku. I am usually "the weirdo" at most jobs, and prefer to keep my worlds of work and socialness apart.
