I’m in Trouble . . . I Need Help
So I sat down and wrote out a complete schedule of all the shows I want to watch coming up in the next few weeks and I realized something. I’m not gonna be able to do it. There just isn’t enough time in the day for it. Especially since I went back to work full-time. *sigh*
Here’s the breakdown:
Mondays (7 hours)
8:00 pm - Chuck (NBC), House (FOX), The Secret Life of the American Teenager (ABC Fam), The Big Bang Theory (CBS)
8:30 pm - How I Met Your Mother (CBS)
9:00 pm - Heroes (NBC), The Bachelor (ABC)
Tuesdays - (4 hours)
8:00 pm - 90210 (CW), American Idol (FOX)
9:00 pm - Fringe (FOX)
10:00 pm - Law and Order: SVU (NBC)
Wednesday (2 1/2-3 hours)
8:00 pm - American Idol (FOX), America’s Next Top Model (CW)
9:00 pm - Lost (ABC)
Thursday (4 hours)
8:00 pm - Bones (FOX), Smallville (CW)
9:00 pm - Kitchen Nightmares/Hell’s Kitchen (FOX), Supernatural (CW)
Friday (4 hours)
8:00 pm - Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles (FOX)
9:00 pm - Dollhouse (FOX), Monk (USA)
10:00 pm - Psych (USA)
That’s over 20 hours of television. There is no way I’m fitting that all in, still working full-time, maintaining two blogs and having a life besides. Some shows are gonna have to go, but I just don’t know which ones. Monday is the worst. I was just coming around to being OK with the fact that Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles had been banished to Fridays, mostly because Monday’s wouldn’t be so crowded anymore. Then they moved both House and The Secret Life to the same time slot on Monday. So now its gonna be even harder.
I guess I’ll just have to watch some shows online, since I can only DVR two things at a time. But when will I have time to watch these other shows. They kinda frown upon that sort of thing where I work. (”Gee, boss, I’m sorry, but I didn’t have any other free time to watch The Bachelor. I didn’t think you’d mind.”) *sigh*
I think I’m a TV junkie. I may need help.

Thanks for your comments, Bill. But for your information, I read at least 3 or 4 books a week, real books, not just fiction, although I do enjoy fiction.
I also hold down a full-time job as a legal recruiter and have a home business selling health care supplements. That’s on top of writing two entertainment blogs (which make watching all that TV necessary), working out, and taking care of a large house and taking care of my family, including my 81-year old mother.
On top of all that, I am the secretary of my church’s sunday school department, am involved in our music department, and am a hostess on Sunday nights.
I have a very full and busy life. I just happen to also like to watch and write about TV. And since they pay me, I don’t really mind.

What’s a “readmill”? Get an education jerk.

I find it highly “pathetic” that anyone would take the time to read a whole post, judge someone they don’t even know, and then take EXTRA time to tell them THEY are pathetic.
The human race disgust me more and more each day.
