I got an appointment for a two-hour meeting today with my boss. A two-hour meeting is bad enough, but it's from noon to 2 pm - um, don't they know I will be effing STARVING by then? Jerks.
I'd eat before you go and then bring a snack and a drink in case of an emergency. I'm sure there will be a bathroom break? Unless, he is even meaner than we thought!

Nah, my boss is a woman and did that to my coworker all the time. I thought how cruel it was. We always ate lunch at 11 - 11:30 (pregnant coworker came in at 7:30) and she would schedule meetings 11 - 1.
I would be mad about that, but I'd def at least take snacks. Both men and women can be unsympathetic and I've had my fair share of inconsiderate idiots around me too.

Re: Who does this to a pregnant chick?
Ooooh, that's bad...grab something at eleven and bring snacks.
I would too. I do this all the time. Everyone looks at me like I'm an idiot, but sorry, the LO and I need to eat!
*edited for sucky grammar*
for some reason, a picture of hippo chewing on a loooooooong string of red licorice during the meeting popped into my head.

this! and if they give you weird looks for eating every last one, say "well, you scheduled this meeting...want a string cheese?"
Maybe they will be ordering in? We usually have meetings around lunch time, but they are catered. If not, definitely bring a snack!
This. I would be shocked if someone in my office scheduled a noon to 2 meeting and didn't bring in lunch for everyone. There's probably be a mutiny!
