I ALWAYS ENVIED this guy that I worked with because he never ate lunch. I thought that it was terrific that he could get away with not having to bother about it. He was skinny, of course, and I’m sure skipping lunch contributed to that. It’s just that, for me, lunch was always kind of a pain in the ass. First, I had to stop what I was doing, even if I wasn’t done, because it was the so-called ‘lunch hour.’ Then I either had to go out to buy lunch which, as expected, entailed deciding what I wanted then going there and then waiting in line to get served, or I had to have brought something from home, typically a boring sandwich of some sort. I realize that many people look forward to lunch. It breaks up their day, gives them a chance to relax from work and grab a bite to get them through the remainder of their day. Orson Welles once made a point about this. “Ask not what you can do for your country,” he said. “Ask what’s for lunch.” In any event, lunch has remained problematic for me all my life. Especially these days, as I’m burning much fewer calories than when I was younger, lunch tends to complicate my weight issues, especially when I have a sinful, gluttonous love of Jersey Mike’s subs. Is it lunchtime yet?
