Something has got to give. The whole course of my day is run by a clock. This use to irk me to no end, but I got over it. So be to class by 8am, go to lunch between noon and 1pm. I can do that, it provides routine, and as humans we all like our routine. Don't believe me?
"Dear can you talk out the trash?"
What do you get? A sigh, an eye roll, "I guess."
Why such the ordeal? Someone's routine was just interrupted. But the thing I can't seem to come to grips with is TV programming. Almost all of our time obligations land on the whole hour, like I pointed out earlier class, work, doctors' appointments, etc. There is the off chance its an 9:30 or something else, but rare. Anyhow, the transportation from point a to b usually takes around 15 minutes at the very least. So their we have our departure time always at some "quarter till" or "quarter after" ("quarter of" for you PA Dutch). Even if its just a short drive you always try to leave a little earlier. But this causes a problem with my television viewing. I always miss at least half my show. So I have come up with a simple solution. My solution is that network TV moves their shows back fifteen minutes. I really think this would solve a lot of problems. I wouldn't be so crabby when I get to where I am going, because I'd know who stole Ariel and Beau's baby. That's all I want, to know what happened. Is that so much? Is it CBS, ABC, FOX, anyone?
