Desperatly want some sushi, major craving going on here. But I'm not going to get out of work until midnight. Should I suffer through it or hit up a grocery store?

Its pretty good, though some of it is definitely an acquired taste.
One of the myths of sushi is that it is all raw. Not true. While most traditional sushi is raw there are several rolls which are not, Ebi (Shrimp), Kani (Crab), Unagi (Barbecue Eel) and Tamago (Egg) to mention a few. Furthermore most sushi restaurants now have a large selection of what I call "Americanized" rolls. Some are pretty basic -- Spider Rolls (Softshell Crab) -- and some are wild explosions of flavor. Tempura'd shrimp, spicy crab, hot sauce, cooked scallops... and that isn't even one-eighth of the ingredients I've seen used. It's all incredibly tasty.
Trust me, go sometime. Sit down at the sushi bar and tell the chef you've never had it before. They'll guide you right.
Oh yeah, don't try Tako right off the bat. Unless you think you'll like raw octopus.
P.S. Don't be afraid of the Eel. It tastes like chicken.
