Big Bang Theory...

You're travelling all Monday. You plan to work on the plane. But you watch Big Bang Theory.

Tuesday. You're in a different time zone. You wake up tired. You have a long day ahead of you. You get started in earnest. You knock a few things off your plate. You start to have a migraine. You get a coffee. It doesn't get any better. You pull through till lunch. You think you feel better. You get some more work done. You're feeling worse. You take off. You get some sleep.

You feel better. You try to think what next. You turn on the TV. Big Bang Theory's just starting. You fix yourself some dinner. You watch the 1st episode. You pick your computer. You check your calendar. You have tons of work to do. You have just watched the 2nd episode. You tell yourself you need to switch off the TV. You try to work. You can't concentrate. You watch episode 3.

You put away your computer. You make yourself some coffee. You've done episode 4. You make yourself more coffee. You're down episode 5. You pick your computer back up. Your coffee is kicking in. You start updating that project plan. Episode 6 is done. Big Bang Theory is over for the day.

You finally start concentrating on work. You still leave the TV on. But this time you're serious. You get the work done. You send out a few emails. You look at your calendar again. You plan your next day. You've dotted the I's and crossed the T's. You feel good. You put away your computer. You check the time. It's well past midnight. You decide to sleep.

You turn off the light. You pull the covers over yourself. Your coffee is still working. You decide to fall asleep after a few more minutes of TV. You pick up the remote. You start browsing channels. You do a full round. You see nothing interesting. You give yourself one last try. You stop a minute to watch that funny commercial. You linger one more minute. You hit Gold again.

Coming up Next, back to back episodes of "Big Bang Theory".

It all started with a Big Bang. It's likely to end in a Big Boom! Wish me luck for Wednesday...
