Working full time again is like living on another planet, in another world. I come home, I have dinner, I waste time watching TV and then I have to get to bed so I can start all over again the next day. So many things I want to do and don't get done. This blog and the other one and my own site. I used to keep all those balls in the air, juggled around. It's bugging me. Tonight I came home late, the bus was running late, but I managed to finally get someone at Bell and straighten out the account for the digital TV. So, after two months, I finally have the science fiction channel. I thought they would have a bigger selection of the old shows like the Canadian Starlost which has always bugged me cause I never saw how they ended that, if they did. Also the new and old Doctor Who series from the UK. Others I'm sure I will think of later. Maybe they already had a run and were retired from the regular line up as people got tired of them. But, I'm new and I want to see the old tired stuff. It's fun to watch the outdated science fiction as much as I enjoy seeing the new.
At least I can waste my time watching worlds end and aliens taking over and all the other odd and interesting things going on in science fiction these days.

I hear ya loud and clear on the woes of the working schlub. *sigh*
The four days at the hotel are killers (esp. the two 7 a.m. mornings and one 10-hour day) so I get home, eat something quickly, watch maybe an hour of TV and then fall into bed.
My "weekends" now are Wed-Thur-Fri but those, I have spent working, too, albeit on translation and thankfully, at home, so I can at least take breaks to do laundry, sweep the floors, care for the cats, etc. *another sigh*
All in the pursuit of enough money to make ends meet.
Bon courage, as they say here.
