I Have Missed The Entire New Season of Making the Band

This new “part-time” job I have is really cramping my tv-watching style.

No longer can I languish on the couch each evening, ingesting mediocre offering after mediocre offering while feeling mildly guilty for not doing my grad school work.

Instead, I have to half-watch only the most important things – that means absolutely no more Super Nanny or Bachelorette -- while simultaneously grading papers, researching lesson plan ideas, or skimming studies about reader response.

This situation is really a drag, and frankly, I’m not sure the sacrifice is worth it.

I recommend a sabbatical. Beats working every time.

When Shef gets older, you can get him interested in certain shows. Then you can figure it in as bonding time with your child. Cameron likes to watch SuperNanny with me. Then he proceeds to tell me exactly how he's NOT like the kids on the show.
