Wishing I Could Work From Home More Often

Thanks to being able to work at home today, I actually have time to go out for a walk around Quarry Lakes Park tonight, which I enjoy.

Tomorrow, I have my quarterly diabetes check-up at 10 AM, so I'll work from home in the morning and head in at about 9, going on to my office thereafter.

Update, 23:00: I had my schedule confused. The doctor's appointment is not until Thursday morning.

An Hour of My Life I'll Never Get Back

A few weeks ago, I responded to a survey and agreed to watch a pilot episode of a TV show that presumably might be on the schedule this fall. The showing was this evening. (Anyone in Fremont watching community access channel 029 on Comcast might have caught it as well.) Shortly after the show, they called me and I answered a bunch of questions.

If I hadn't previously agreed to watch the entire show, I would have turned it off within the first five minutes -- possibly the first thirty seconds. On a scale of 1 to 10, with 10 being best, I gave it a 2 overall, and feel I was generous. I gave the interviewer my opinions. Probably I'm an outlier, especially as I watch so little original network programming. But if I never see this show on the network schedule, I'll feel I'll have done my little part to help kill it.
