Most in-house hospital jobs allow only 30 minutes for lunch! So I wouldn't call an hour lunch
"rigid."  If you are an employee, there are rules, set schedules, etc. that you have to expect. 
MTs out to lunch
Congratulations! I am sure you worked very hard and deserved it.
No--she is lunch!!!!

breaks and lunch

I think the way it goes is that you must be allowed to take breaks and lunch.  I was an employee for a company that did not care when you worked, as long as you met turnaround time. 


Could you have lunch delivered for
the staff one day? I'm not suggesting anything too pricey, but something they all enjoy. A donation in their name to an animal rescue in your area might be appreciated as well. Congratulations on your puppies!
So, instead of dinner, whats for LUNCH?
YUM  
I don't know, but my appetite for lunch just left me.

If you are FT employee, must take two 15 min breaks and 30 min lunch
But, I am sure, many MTs do not do this and say they do.
Whats for lunch/dinner??

I am just curious what everyone is having for lunch or dinner.  Need some ideas on what to cook.


Have a good Sunday afternoon.


take my lunch break and take a dip in the pool

I had one who decided lunch time ....sm
would be a good time to dictate.  Opening wrappers, eating, drinking, etc.  I was so repulsed by the eating sounds, I was ready to give them up.  I called my contact person about 3 x and asked her  to ask him to stop.  Finally, I called the manager.  When she approached him about it, HE DENIED IT!!!  Said he didn't eat while dictating.  Of course, she believed him and was dumbfounded at what I could be hearing!  I told her I knew what I was hearing and  it had to stop.  Anyone who has ever heard that sound while transcribing KNOWS they are eating.  What a jerk.  Interestingly, the eating stopped, and I still have the account.
Lunch- -most important meal of the day!
I work 35 hours a week. I have a scheduled 8-hour shift and take a 1-hour lunch break, leaving me with 7 hours of production a day. My advice is to do the 35-hour schedule. You'll probably be more productive (lph) at 35 hours than 40, and you'll always be able to add extra hours later if you want to. Don't skip lunch or eat at your desk. You'll feel so much better if you take a real lunch break everyday.
I make lunch ahead of time and

my child has never complained about the bread being hard.  Maybe because we use 100% whole wheat and it is already kind of dry?  I have just never heard that complaint from anyone


I make lunch right after clearing up dinner and that way if we all oversleep by accident, at least its one less thing to have to worry about.  We have enough stress in the morning.


 


Rule of thumb - THERE'S NO FREE LUNCH
If you don't want to do much, don't expect to make much. That's just the way it is.
Eating their lunch/dinner while dictating
I have a doctor from Croatia who is hard enough to understand with his "ah" and 'um" but when he's crunching carrots in the middle of it?  Forget it. 
Someone paddles my kids, they will find my fist for lunch!!!

I'm having a homemade roast beef sub and chips for lunch.

DH can probably BBQ hot dogs and burgers for dinner because I don't feel like cooking.


My employer took all MTs out to lunch today in recognition of National MT Week and we got a new
Drake & Drake Pharmaceutical Word Book!  First time I have worked anywhere that actually recognized MTs for this week.
I worked in a hospital and I could make differrent arrgmts for lunch if I needed to.
Don't let the OP scare you off from investigating.

Do what is right for you.

moms? lunch cunundrum - am I a less-loving mother if I make his PB&J tonight and refrigerator it?

Forget dinner! Just prepared a huge lunch. Skillet chicken: Skinless boneness breasts cooked in skil
golden brown, add can of cream of mushroom soup, 1 cup of frozen mixed veggies, 1/2 c water - cover and cook about 15 minutes.
Then I made homemade mashed potatoes - extra thick - with plenty of pepper :0

Then, boiled my water for my sweet tea....with lemon.

After the chicken is done, pour a cup and a half or so of mozerella cheese on top and let it sit for about a minute or so.

The mixture from the potatoes is a creamy blend with mixed veggies poured over either rice or potatoes. I just make stuff up all the time like this. You could even add crackers to the mixture to give it a crunchy feel. My 2 boys were in heaven today. Of course, I may have to work the night shift when my lunch is finished - when I eat like this during the afternoon I usually skip dinner altogether because of the carb content.

Remember with this dish: You can do it low fat by substituting above ingredients. Also remember to have plenty of color to your diet! Voila!
