desk lunch
Workstation dining break
Desk lunch is a meal eaten at one's workspace rather than in a break room, cafeteria, or restaurant.
The term captures the modern reality of working through lunch—eating while checking emails or finishing tasks.
It often carries a note of resignation or exhaustion: Another desk lunch today, I'm slammed with deadlines.
