I started work at 4:00am, which was two hours later than I should have started.

Ultimately, it's not the long hours of work that's wearing on me day after day. it's that I'm having to miss my favorite television shows to do it. My DVR was already full from when I was on vacation, and now old stuff is being deleted to make room for new stuff.

In the case of shows like Grey's Anatomy, I don't find myself minding very much. The show has been spinning its wheels for a while now, and I just don't care. Delete. Delete. Delete.

But in the case of shows like Elementary and Sons of Anarchy? I care quite a bit. Those shows are actually entertaining, and provide a necessary distraction from Real Life. Which is why it's upsetting to see that my DVR is dumping episodes I haven't seen.

Not that it matters. At this rate, I won't have time to watch the newer episodes either.

I suppose that I should just give up on television entirely.

Except...

Holy crap my life would suck if I couldn't escape into the much more exciting lives of the people who live in my television.
