Introduction
When you have your office in your home, you must hone your time management skills, else you get nothing done and starve. Submitted for you consideration, a day plan that allows time to do your work, and reach out and piss off conservatives all over the world.
5:30 AM My wife's alarm goes off.
I roll over, turn on the TV and watch the last half hour of Star Trek on TV Land, as I stretch and groan and try to determine what aches this morning.
6:01 AM Go into the bathroom.
Pee, take a hit off the Advair, suck down a Prilosec, brush my teeth, gargle a mouth full of Scope. Pull on a pair of gym shorts, a tee shirt, a pair of deck shoes and head for the kitchen.
6:08 Pour a giant mug of Imus Brothers coffee.
They make great coffee; their "green" cleaning products are great also, and all the profits go to help kids with cancer, autism, and to research SIDS. Tastes great, help a kid.
6:10 Kiss the wife and go into my office and sit down at my desk and start scanning the news.
I start with the BBC and work my way West.
6:20 Next is the Boston Globe
Skeeter and her husband live in Beantown, so I gotta keep up. Scan for interesting headlines.
6:30 AM Down to the Big Apple
America's newspaper of record. Read Krugman, Dowd, and even a couple of the conservatives. By this time, my blood pressure is up to a stable 240/125, and I'm almost ready to blog.
6:45 AM Can't leave out D.C.
By the time I'm done, it's 7:00; time for a refill on the coffee.
7:00 AM Check the headlines on the Huffington Post
If something catches my eye, I'll submit a rant. I have different sign in names for each of my three computers; sometimes I argue with myself, just to suck in a few more people. So far I've only got two OML identities.
7:15 - 7:20 ish Check the Daily Kos, and or The Nation
www.dailykos.com/ - http://www.thenation.com/
Stock up on liberal bias for the day. Maybe blog a little on the kos.
7:45 Final cup of Joe, and goodbye to the little woman.
The dog and I go out to the LR to watch Morning Joe on MSNBC for a few minutes with the wife, and tell her to have a great day.
8:00 Now it's just me the dog and my monkey. Let's get serious.
newsweek.washingtonpost.com/onfaith/
John Meacham and Sally Quinn (Newsweek and Washington Post) have a discussion website called "on faith." This week we have been dicussing Islam. I read what's up there and generally post a comment or two, or maybe argue for a while.
8:30 Sharp. Stop everything and get to work.
Phone, blah, blah, AutoCad, phone, blah blah Word, yak, yak......................
12:00 - 12:30 Make and eat a sandwich and watch Becker.
12:30 - 2:45 Work
See "work" above.
3:00 - 4:50 Go to the freaking gym.
Walk, walk, walk, walk, walk, walk, walk, walk, walk, walk, walk, walk, walk, walk, walk, walk, walk, walk, walk, walk, walk, walk, walk, walk, walk, walk, walk, walk, walk, walk, walk, walk, walk, walk, walk, walk, walk, walk, walk, walk, walk, walk, walk, walk, walk, walk, walk, walk, walk, walk, walk, walk, walk, walk, walk, walk, walk, walk, walk, walk, walk, walk, walk, walk, walk, walk, walk, walk, walk, walk, walk, walk, walk, walk, walk, walk, walk, walk, walk, walk, walk, walk, walk, walk, walk, walk, walk, walk, walk, walk, walk, walk, walk, walk, walk, walk, walk, walk, walk, walk, walk, walk, walk, walk, walk, walk, walk, walk, walk, walk, walk, walk, walk, walk, walk, walk, walk, walk, walk, walk, walk, walk, walk, walk, walk, walk, walk, walk, walk, walk, walk, walk, walk, walk, walk, walk, walk, walk, walk, walk, walk, walk, walk, walk, walk, walk, walk, walk, walk, walk, walk, walk.
5:00 Feed Maxwell and hop in the shower.
Wash, wash, wash, wash, wash, wash, wash, wash, wash faster, faster, oh baby, oh baby, wash, wash, wash, wash.
5:20 Take Maxwell out for a snoof n poop.
5:40 The wife gets home.
Spend the rest of the night working, or eating, or blogging, or reading, or all of the above.
11:00 The Daily Show with Jon Stewart.
Laugh, laugh, laugh, laugh, laugh, laugh, laugh, laugh, laugh, snore, snore, snore, snore, snore, snore, ........................................
Maybe you only think you are pissing people off. Some of us might just feel sympathy for your misguided allegiances.
Good lick with the Imus plug.
