Lunch time round about

So it's a perfectly lovely day in my small town, weather-wise. Of course, I decided to walk somewhere for lunch today. Unfortunately, the university at which I work is currently doing a lot of construction work on the main road through/around the campus. The eating establishment I wished to go to is just barely off-campus across said road, but many of the sidewalks are closed, thus making it difficult to know how to get across. I started my trek and realized this, so I began to go further east to walk around the construction. There was more construction. I kept going. More construction. Finally, I found an unobstructed passageway. I could finally walk south! As I began to turn back west to go back the 2 blocks I had gone out of my way east, what did my wandering eyes find? That's right! More construction. I had to go another block south. Argh. By now, the perfectly lovely weather was getting a little warmer than I had planned on when I had set out. But, I couldn't turn back now! I was getting closer to my destination, and I was HUNGRY! (Did I mention that I don't get to go eat lunch until 1:30 everyday?) I finally reached my wonderful sandwich shop and ordered, then went outside to sit under a shady tree and eat my prize. You'll never guess what I saw. Yup, I saw people crossing said construction cluttered street just a few yards west of where I had originally attempted to cross. Boy was I mad. But, in order to justify my 8 block detour, I have decided that I needed the exercise. It makes me feel better about eating my Philly Steak sandwich with cheese and mayo. Oh, don't worry, I had some veggies. Oh, and a DP to wash it all down. :D I love my awkward life.
