Eating Lunch @ My Desk

For the past three days I have brought my lunch to work. With the economy all mucked up, and me being single and living alone and understanding that my chances of hitting the powerball are 1 in 4 million, I figure maybe it will help me save a little extra money...

But I have discovered that my theories about bringing my lunch being a bad idea are true, and here are the two reasons why:

1. Lunch hasn't come yet today, so the outcome is up in the air. However, the first day I brought my lunch I ate it at 11:30 and that was holding out at long as I possibly thought I could. I wanted to kill it at 10:50, but talked myself out of it. Needless to say, by 3 pm that day I was starving. Yesterday I actually made it to 12:30, but had to refrain from gnawing my arm off while waiting for lunchtime. It's like when I bring my lunch, my sandwich whispers to me from the bag. I can't not eat it. Today, I'm trying to make it, but my stomach is empty and I'm getting the hunger grumps. We'll see what happens.

2. The first day I went out for a bit, to run a couple errarnds, just to break up the day. Yesterday though, I stayed in. I sat at my desk, eating my cheese sanwich (just like Bernie Mac said we do) and worked the crossword puzzle. In 30 minutes I was bored and done eating, so went back to work. At 3 pm yesterday the fact that I had been at this desk, in this office with no windows had caught up to me. I WANTED TO SCRATCH MY EYES OUT. I ran out of the office as soon as the day was over! I don't know what sane person can actually sit at their desk ALL..DAY. Not me. It makes me want to punch someone in their throat.

So my thing is, is bringing my lunch to work and saving maybe $30 a week worth my sanity & my eyes. That's really questionable....
