Well today I decided to rebel a little and not eat my organic peanut butter and banana sandwich that I brought for lunch. Sometimes I just want to go against the grain and eat the worst possible thing I can find. Starting at around 10:15 this morning the battle against right and wrong began in my head. I knew that we were saving money and that it wasn't really responsible of me to go out and buy lunch. Especially since I had packed a lunch. On the other hand I ate that same thing yesterday and I got paid today. So what's the big deal right? So lunch time came and I had decided that I was going to do it, I was going to Hardee's despite everything within me saying no. I clocked out and headed down the hallway towards the backdoor, my conscious and stomach both screaming stop. I knew that once I stepped foot out that door there was no turning back. I grabbed the door handle, gave it a quick determined turn, and thrust myself through the door. The moment I was outside I could see that beautiful red building with shiny delicious advertisements on every window. As I approached the building debating on which burger to get I saw it, 2 Jumbo Hot Dogs for $2.99!!!! There was nothing Anyone could do to change my mind and I don't even like hot dogs. I walked in, made my purchase, and walked back to work instantly feeling horrible about my decision. I knew I had done wrong and I thought that my punishment would have taken place when I got home. Little did I know as I ate those two jumbo hot dogs covered in chili and mustard that my punishment was coming sooner rather than later. After the first bite I knew I was in for it and I ate them anyways. Getting out of that chair and walking to the trashcan was literally the hardest thing I have done in a long time. Now as I am sitting here telling you of this tale of bravery and stupidity I am wishing I wasn't such a rebel.
Moral of this story: Don't every eat 2 Jumbo Hot Dogs for $2.99. These things always sound so good before you eat them even though we know it's not true.
