It’s called a DVR!
Yesterday I presented a workshop at a local High School - “Plan your Career Path”. LOL The irony of it all is that as I’m at a cross roads when it comes to planning my own! Just to give some background of the workshop - the students were asked to assess their values and identify their roadblocks, aka challenges they might face or have to overcome to achieve their goals. Hmm, now I have the option of taking this post in several directions - Dare I comment on the lack of direction that our future generation has. It’s sad and all I can do is shake my head. Or should I take lessons from this class of seniors and just shrug my shoulders and say in an unconfident tone “I don’t know…”
NO!! In fact, I’m sure there is a blog (several) dedicated to breaking down what’s going on (or should I say what’s NOT going on) in the world of Public Education. Let me stay true to the purpose of this blog - My Purpose…
What’s keeping me from getting things done that I need to get done. That damn DVR! Yep that’s what it is. Do you know I watch more TV owning a DVR than I have EVER watched in my life!! OR is it because there are so many great shows on. And why do they ALL have to be on at the same time. Yes, I watch them All - The Apprentice, Survivor, ANTM (America’s Next Top Model), AI (American Idol), The Amazing Race… Just got into watching Medium on Monday’s, and my ALL time favorite - LOST!!! Now, LOST also requires an hour or two of reading discussion forums (www.4815162342.com) because I have to make sure I didn’t miss anything of significance… Let’s not forget taping every episode of Oprah… and the fact that I work for the cable company (www.cox.com) and have the benefit of getting EVERY single movie channel there is. SO needless to say -My DVR is full of crap!! Crap I need to watch. Crap that I’ve watched but have to watch again… You would think that I’d be some big fat girl or something. (Thank you Jesus for my metabolism and my mom’s genes!)
“When Shaune do you find time do anything else?” you ask. Well, it’s not during the commercial breaks because I fast forward right through those. And before you know it… after watching all that crap - the week is over and I haven’t done crap.
My Roadblock = DVR
