I trawled through the archives looking for this post again.  

I still have breakfast before I leave the house, come into work, logon and read my emails.

However these are some of the things I have encountered that others do -

- hang up their coat (fair enough)
- go to the water fountain
- chat
- go to the ladies (if you are one) and put on your face
(bearing in mind some people have still not logged on at this stage)
- still chatting
- still in ladies
- oh logged on now
- head to canteen for breakfast (....say what?)
- chat again
- more water
- finally read emails and do some work

I have come in this morning, logged on, read emails and started to work, while my colleague has come in, gone to the ladies, is still there, and I'm taking 5 mins as I'm up to date with work.

PS.  For info, my face is on before I leave the house.

Do the rest of you have some routine where you don't start work immediately you get to work?  We have to clock in so surely that is abuse of company time?!
