At least my job ain't dirty!

Here I sit at work. yes I am at work and have been since about 11am. I finished one class at 3ish and I get to sit around here until my next class at 6pm. It goes until 8pm. I get to come in late but I have to stay late. Not a bad trade, I figured.
I figured wrong.
Tonight is a Detroit Red Wings game against the Colorado Avalanche. I hate Colorado, and so does every other Red Wings fan. While their games have not been as intense the past few years as they were in in the late 90's, I happen to have most of those games on VHS tape and have been copying them to DVD the past few weeks. So they're fresh in my mind, and now I really hate Colorado.
But I'll be stuck at work when the game starts at 7pm. DANG IT!
Also, there's a newer cooking show, Just Cook This with a guy named Sam Zein. This is the kind of cooking show I'd like to do. And I have had lots of people tell me I should do a cooking show. I am quite confident that Chris and Colby and I could combine our culinary and creative talents to put together a show like this one. Its basically 3 guys, 1 camera, a couple of dogs, and a kitchen. They stand around, crack jokes, cook, and eat. It's on Discovery Health channel so they try to do healthy stuff. But it's still fun. But sadly I can't watch it now. It only comes on Tuesday afternoons at 4pm. I'll be at work. Dang it!
Whats worse is that I'll be missing Dirty Jobs on Discovery Channel. And tonight of all nights! Who gives a rat's butt that Oprah went to Macon? Mike Rowe went to Macon and that's a big deal.
Actually Mike was just outside of Macon, very close to Brian in a small town called Clinton, GA. I've driven thru there a billion times over the years. Mike's Dirty Job? Cleaning up at Old Clinton Bar-B-Q. (Yes they spell it wrong but lets ignore that for now.) I have eaten at Old Clinton once. It was alright, until they put their sauce on it. Their website gives you the scoop on their food. I did find it funny that they included some reviews one of which is not at all flattering. (Click the About link on their web page.)
It should be a good show. Heck it features MEAT! (Go Meat!) And not just any old meat, it features the best one: PORK!!
Thankfully I *can* be home in time to watch that show. But I'll probably be buried in books prepping for classes tomorrow morning. ARGH!
As aside note, while I was digging out the article from the Macon Telegraph about the show I found this:
Look at bullet 3 and bullet 4 and tell me there's not a lot of irony in there. I know I am not the world's greatest speller. On here I make a lot of typos because I didn't pay attention in Mrs. Cope's typing class in middle school. But spell check saves me most days. What excuse does a newspaper have? Isn't spelling and grammar sort of required basic skills for that type of job? I swear people are getting dumber or lazier every day.
Then again, ignorant people mean job security. I just wish they would take daytime classes. Or at least bring me some barbeque. (Yes that IS the correct spelling!)
Krystal Lovers get more in the sack!.
