Lunch Alone

Today I not only tasted my lunch, but also tasted the pointless life of a loveless hopeless miserable lunchtime singleton, when forced to eat my (homemade) sandwich at my desk on my OWN.

Without friends with which to discuss the ingredients of my sandwich (wheat bread + turkey + ham + cheese) I slid into a well of lunchtime depression. Desperate for an easy fix I went in search of some office-compatible internet soma: a news website. After reading everything the BBC, and the New York Times had to offer, I soon realised that the question of peace in the Middle East was a difficult one.

With a complex decades-long socio-economic geopolitical problem playing on my mind, and the contents of a sandwich with which I could not disuss, further getting me down, I went in search of an online lunch mate. For a small fee, and a picture of my sandwich, I was into eatmysandwich.com - the worlds largest online sandwich club. Only interested in discussing wheat bread sandwiches that had been prepared within 20 miles of my office, I undertook a custom search and found this:

A wheat bread sandwich, stuffed with mayonnaise, camembert, carrot, and asparagus. Needless to say, I am in contact with the proprietor and will no longer be spending any lunches on my own. Have you picked up any hot lunches online?
