We start at 7 AZ time; the restaurant we're fetching Chinese from doesn't open until 11 CA time, which is 12 N here. Worse, they're not answering the phone early, so we can't even pre-order. It's going to be 12:30 - 1:00 before it's ready to eat. 
On the brighter side, the boss is buying.

The solution is to go out to lunch. You should be back just in time for lunch.

I normally go out for my lunch at about 1.30 or 2, in a day which is roughly 9.30 to 6. This makes the post-lunch part of work pleasantly short, and I get to 6 without feeling at all bored.
Today I had a lunchtime meeting so I had lunch from 12 to 1. It's now 5.15 and I just want to go home  .
I've always felt that the norm of taking lunch at midday is weird – people don't centre their living day around the clock, we don't go to bed at 8pm and get up at 4am ... so why make 12pm the 'middle' of your day when it clearly isn't?

Toe-may-toe, toe-mah-toe. I get up at 4:45, I'm at work by 6:00, and I'm out at 4:00. Lunch is around 12:30 or so, after I've run or worked out.

That's fair enough if you actually do centre your day on the clock by getting up at crazy o'clock.

It's a couple of factors.
I'm a morning person, so going in that early is less annoying to my coworkers. That whole chipper "good morning!" thing has worn off by the time the rest of them roll in at 8:30 or so.
Going in at 6:00 and coming home at 4:00 keeps me off the highway at peak traffic time.

Wussies! My grandfather would get up just after he went to bed and walked 14 miles in the snow in subzero temperatures, year round, uphill both ways with only old newspapers for shoes and coat and worked 27 hours a day without lunches or breaks. Stop whining.
At least that's what he told us when we were kids.

Luxury. We used to have to get out of the lake at six o'clock in the morning, clean the lake, eat a handful of 'ot gravel, work twenty hour day at mill for tuppence a month, come home, and Dad would thrash us to sleep with a broken bottle, if we were lucky!
