Entry: Bad timing Tuesday, July 28, 2009



Last night I made a slight timing mistake on one of the new games Laila and Judy have me playing.  It is a Facebook game called Farm Ville.  It is a game where you prepare your land, plant your crops and then harvest them.  What you plant will determine how long they take to grow and complete.  You then have to harvest them before they rot on the vine.

 

Pumpkins take 8 hours so I plant them before I go to bed and they will be ready when I get up in the morning.  Rice takes 12 hours so sometimes I plant that depending on how much time I will have.

 

Last night I planted some pumpkins and when I got up this morning I misjudged harvesting by 10 minutes.  Since I usually give myself plenty of time to get to work I stayed and harvested them before I left the house.  I still made it to work in time and all. I guess I will have to pay a little more attention on the time at night before I go to bed so I plant things on time.

 

So now I am here waiting for the students to get here so I can get started for the day.  A couple students got in some trouble last week and have to go to a Disciplinary Review Board, so the guy I am sitting in on has to go to that, so I will be teaching today.  That is cool as I hate sitting in.  I will get to teach until he gets back anyway.

 

I guess that is about it for now. It is time to get ready for the students to show up.

 

It is lunch time now and I had a blast this morning teaching the PSK Detector, PSK Logic Receiver, and the AFC Sweep Module.  It is such a drag sitting in and watching someone else teach something that you have been teaching for years.  I guess it is all part of the job though so I have to live with it.

 

Tonight will be fun and I can hardly wait to get off work.  First off we have finally started an offensive in the war game I play.  I got tired of waiting on the other leaders so a fe of us got together and are attacking.

 

The other thing I am excited about is that I have been waiting for this weeks “Hells Kitchen” to come on and see what happened between that rude obnoxious guy and Chef Ramsay.  Last week when they left off it looks as though they were heading towards the parking lot for a fight.  Also in the next weeks episode thing they were showing fire trucks and all so it looks like someone caught the place on fire.

 

Network TV has gotten so boring lately and “Hells Kitchen” is one of the bright spots.  What I also find sad is that everyone is heralding their Emmy nominations and the shows that they say have the most nominations are stuff I don’t watch.  I have tried to watch stuff like “30 Something” and “The Office” but switched them off.

 

I am anxiously waiting for the new season of “NCIS”, “CSI”, “Dexter” and a few others.  It seems that everything is either a game show, a singing or dancing competition, or a reality show.  I get stuck watching them because my kids like them and there are no good alternatives.

 

I do like the “Amazing Race” and “America’s Got Talent”, but the rest are a waste of time.  Some of it I just watch for background noise while I do my computer games with Laila.

 

The USA network has a few good shows like “Burn Unit” and that one about the doctor (The name evades me at the moment).  A lot of the time I would rather watch reruns or the new USA shows than turn on the networks.  I think USA is better than NBC and I think NBC owns the USA network.  They should move some of those shows to the parent network.

 

HBO and Showtime have a few series but other than “Dexter” I don’t bother with them.  Sometimes I think the pay stations just put on the grossest stuff they can because the networks can’t air some of it. 

 

Well I suppose that is about it for today.  This entry has managed to get quite lengthy and is covering too many different subjects.  Laila always gets on me when I start talking about something and then end up writing something else.  I hope everyone is having a great week.
