engineers eating lunch @ desk?

[thermo1]

<p>so i've just started a new job and office has about 40 people. At lunch, there will be <5 people eating at the cafeteria and i've noticed that there will pretty much never be an engineer there. </p>

<p>i'm a new grad engineer and just started so i want people to know me and not label me as anti-social. I'm shy as well and want to make an effort to be social but i'm noticing that i'm the only engineer who doesn't eat at his desk. </p>

<p>advice?</p>

<p>Go eat with the people that also don’t mind being social in the cafeteria. I take it you have already been introduced to the other engineers. So just try to get to know them as you go along. See if there are any post work clubs/activities that others are involved in.</p>
