Pros and cons of eating out

As I sit at work, freezing in the Arizona summer air conditioning, I ponder venturing into the squinty, sweaty heat and finding something to eat at a restaurant. Sushi, maybe. Or something from the B-Line.

But I brought a peanut butter and honey to work with me, and cherries and a nectarine.

But sushi...

Just in case you're suffering a similar dilemma, and mostly to give myself reasons to keep my butt in this groovy swivel chair, I'm offering a list of the "pros and cons of eating out." Enjoy.

PROS
1. Don't have to make it yourself
2. Tasty
3. Gets you away from the office
4. Option to try something new
5. Helps the economy

Cons
1. You don't know if the person making it washed his hands first
2. Might not be tasty today as you'd hoped
3. Takes you out into crappy lunch hour traffic
4. Don't really know if the food is vegetarian/kosher/etc.
5. Costs money you should be saving
6. Restaurants are busy at lunchtime
7. Not necessarily healthy

Can't think of anything else. But there are more cons than pros. So stay in the office and eat that sandwich you slaved away making this morning even though you were an hour late to work.
