Do you work some place that has an employee refrigerator?
You can take a small insulated bag with a coldpack in it to keep things cold.
Hard cheese can be left at room temperature for a long time without spoiling.
So can uncut fruits, which includes tomatoes and cucumbers and peppers.

Well I work someplace with an employee fridge now, but I haven't always.

In the (distant past?) when I packed lunches for myself, I routinely
made a week's worth of sandwiches and froze them, so that
on a weekday morning I only pulled out a sandwich or two from the freezer
and added a piece of fruit or vegetable.
The sandwiches were mostly peanut butter, and one of our cats was
fond of peanut butter, so he expected his share.

Why did you freeze peanut butter? It keeps pretty well at room temperature.
I used to put apple slices in my peanut butter sandwiches. To upset people
at school, I would also add just about anything else that stuck, including
green beans (cooked) or cranberry sauce. The carrot tops were not very good.

resp:61 Julie (I should start calling her Ms. Fix-it now) figured it
out. She said the brush roller had too much hair on it and couldn't
spin. Took off the hair-- problem fixed. i.e. resp:62-- exactly.
resp:62 au contraire, it's reasonably tasty, and reasonably fibered
(usually just 2 g though :/ ) I guess it's time to start workin' that
bread machine...
