Anyone here regularly cook at work while on shift?
My assignment at the steel mill is a really laid back job and we have the advantage of being posted in a building which has a small kitchenette. The building houses the guard shack as well as the plant truck weigh scale house. It's not uncommon for the scale operators or guards to get together and plan meals.
Scale op: You guys want to do burgers tommorrow?
Guard: Sure. You need me to bring something? I have a pack of buns at the house.
Guard/EMT: And I just picked up a couple bags of chips at Wal-mart.
Scale Op: OK. I'll bring the patties and some stuff to put on them.
or
Guard: Anyone feel like breakfast tommorrow? I got some eggs to use up. I could bring in some sausage too.
Guard/EMT: Works for me. Here's a couple of bucks to cover my share.
Scale OP: (yelling down the hall from scale house) I'm in. I'll bring some Grands biscuits.
And like that we have plans for a late night dinner/breakfast at the main gate.
Maybe it's my partner Steve B. mixing up some Sloppy Joes to put on the buns I brought like in the photo below-

Another night we may make biscuits and scrambled eggs with sausage in it like he's making here-

Another night we may be sitting at our desk at 3 am with pancakes and sausage in front of us. Have to move the laptop and log book out of the way to make room my plate.

We don't do this every night. Most of the time it's a brown bag lunch we bring in and microwave during the night. Maybe we order pizza. Often, if we are ordering we all chip in together to make one order everyone can share.
The truth is that we have it pretty good at our site.
I am curious if anyone else has had the chance to cook up their meals beyound the usual microwavable TV dinner.
