Working lunches

[lnr]

When Julia and I recently moved office we took advantage of the new space to buy a kettle and a really small fridge. This means my lunch can now involve such exciting things as pot-couscous and salads which would be a bit grim if left at room temperature until lunchtime. But I still can't manage soup unless I bring a flask, or anything as exciting as a ready-meal or a jacket potato. Still, it means I'm no longer living on sandwiches, soup and crisps from our mini-canteen.

What cooking/catering facilities do *you* have at work? (NB your "canteen" could just be a vending machine). [Poll #1405942]

We still have to do the washing up in the sinks in the Ladies mind, which is mildly off-putting.

The common room referred to in my edit is the central SCR (we also had a DSCR for departmental staff, which was a central facility for the clerical and technical staff, but the two merged a few years ago when pay scales were unified). The technicians get a tea room in the department because they can't eat or drink in their normal work areas, the rest of us are assumed to be able to make our own arrangements in offices or labs. I think that's probably the same throughout the university - space is a problem (which is why I make an effort to keep as much junk as possible in my office, to avoid anyone deciding that they could move someone else in here with me).
