You'd never get your screen back then. She'd sit on your lap all day batting at it and the moment you turned it off her claws would sink into your thighs and you'd have to turn it back on

I'd honestly be more worried about the cats claws going into the LCD than my thighs. 
Picture a huge catholic cathedral. In it there's many people, including a gregorian monk choir. You know, those who sing beautifully. Then they start singing, in latin, as they always do: "Ad hominem..."

do you know what breakfast and dinner and supper are, or are you just one of those hardcore snack junkies?

Most of the time, at least. Saves money and keeps me from getting too fat.

I often eat lunch at home, usually because i hadn't made it in to the office yet. At one time, i kept a mini-fridge under my desk, stocked with enough food to feed me through the week - bread, ham, condiments, yoghurt... But that got nixed by the office police, so i figure the time i spend away from work eating out, driving home, or cooking is a fair trade.

My office has a full kitchen, along with a huge gas grill on the porch. We usually either order delivery (or call and pick up) lunch for the whole office, or one of us goes grocery shopping for steaks, burger, salad - whatever - and we cook a bunch of fresh chow. Once in a great while our front office lady makes us her famous tacos, and several times a month someone stops by selling homemade tamales or burritos out of the car. Mmmmmm, good stuff! We may not get much work done, but we certainly eat well. No wonder the boss just bought us all gym memberships.

Does your boss believe that any of the good looking people actually does some work?

I always get out of the building to go get my lunch but then I end up eating it at my desk to try to catch up on my work.
Kind of the best of both worlds. I get out and see the world but still get a chance to get things done. People around here are really good about bothering people during lunch.

Does anybody else do anything other than eating during lunchtime? I take a 90 minute lunch break, and run or work out. I then eat my lunch at my desk afterwards (usually a couple of PB&J from home, or a salad from here at work).

You took 90 mins to do your workout, then go back to eat your lunch. So how long is your lunch time? 2hrs?

The workout takes from 60-90 minutes. I work while I eat my lunch, although I'll admit it's mostly lightweight tasks since my concentration isn't 100%. Since I come in at 7:00 a.m. and don't leave until 5:00 p.m. my employer doesn't have any complaints.
They actively encourage us to stay fit. Our building has a 1.1 mile walking trail around it. Our fitness room includes enough club-quality equipment that there's never any waiting for a machine. It's a simple business decision for them: Active, healthy, fit employees have lower absenteeism and health care costs.

I am a s/w engineer. I have only 60 mins.

After 15 mins, i closed my eyes  and got a peaceful mind.

Am I the only one who's given lunch by the company? [edit]I get lunch + snacks in the evening (which , for all practical purposes is dinner to me because I don't eat anything after that) and they deduct Rs. 250 from my salary. That's peanuts! If I were to eat the same food outside, it would cost me at least Rs. 2500, maybe Rs. 3500 a month. I *love* it here!  [/edit]
I gained 13 kg in the first 4 months 
Cheers,
Vikram.

Woot! You company provides lunch?! That's interesting. But the issue is, does the food taste good?

Do you think I would have gained all those kilos otherwise?

Nope, same for me. I am still surprised that people who answered your thread are surprised the company has a canteen.  This is common here (in germany/france).
