"You can't put a price on the joy of not giving a shit." -Zenkitty

I'm eating sushi for lunch.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Oh, here's a relevant question: How far do you feel is too far to go for lunch? If you're driving, is a mile the limit? If you're not driving, how long will you spend getting there? Do you calculate it by actual distance or by the time it takes to get there?

All the food joints by me are either real close, or too far. I am reluctant to drive 15 minutes to get lunch. Is that unreasonable?

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Unless I'm explicitly taking a long lunch, I don't want to walk more than 2 long/4 short blocks to get it.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

I don't drive to lunch, as I'd lose my parking space. Most everything here in Highland Park can be walked to in under 10 minutes.

When I worked in the outskirts of Evanston I'd often ride my bike downtown for lunch. That would take less than 10 minutes.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

I haven't worked that algorithm out yet, Zen. I have added a "miles from work" field in my restaurant database, but I hardly ever go out to lunch. But I will today! Hm, maybe BK. I had thought I'd go get the Reuben Wrap I already had planned for tomorrow, but then I have to figure out tomorrow's lunch...

Thanks, y'all. It's just a day of feeling bad even though I have no actual problems.

msbelle, I'm a size 16 at the moment. I'll check with you if I get down to a 10-12 range. I actually have tons of clothes and usually I like most of them, but today they all suck, you know?

Walter totally has the plastic/tasrps/whatever flapping in the wind fear. Also ladders, for some reason. Dogs are just weird, sometimes.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

I just drove over 4 miles for BK, I drove 7 miles for the furthest away lunch place I went at the old job. difference is with BK I am driving thru and bringing back to the office at at the old place that was driving to a sit down place.

I've mostly stopped going to fast food places for anything besides McDonalds breakfasts. Sometime I go to Popeyes because their fried chicken is nummy.

Suzi, health~ma for K-Bug!

I almost never drive anywhere for lunch; either I bring my own or I walk to a restaurant nearby. There are really only 3 or 4 places with good (vegetarian) lunch options nearby, but that's just about enough, since I try to bring a lunch most days.
