Winding Down

Just curious what everyone else here does when they get home from work (assuming most of you are fellow deskers). As for me, right now I'm watching a re-run of Frasier and working through a sleeve of Ritz crackers. That's not my routine every night, but it's pretty close. I get home, grab a quick bite while watching some late-night re-runs, and read for a bit until I go to bed. Not the most exciting night, but it's what I do. Anyone do anything differently?

 

I'm taking naked pictures of your girlfriend.

 

Ha! The joke's on you. I don't have a girlfriend.

 

Ha! Wonder why.

 

I basically watch old sitcoms and type away on this site until I fall asleep in my La-Z-Boy every night. Sometimes I fall asleep on the floor, other times the couch. But that's generally my winding down period. It begins anywhere from 3 p.m. to midnight and usually wraps up around 3 a.m.

 

Deadline is midnight. I watch The Daily Show until the first commercial break at work. I rush home and catch the end. Then Colbert. I usually eat a sandwich. Tonight I had a piece of cake (my wife makes great cake). I watch re-runs of Seinfeld from 1 a.m. to 2 a.m. and then move to the bedroom to fall asleep with Sports Center on.

If the baby suddenly wakes and needs a change or a quick bottle, I do that too.

 

get home at 1:30'ish. i SportsJournalists.com it, watch a movie or whatnot, envision write-brained naked while i whack off and go to sleep.

 

I'm not a desker, but I often don't get home until midnight because I help with reading proofs/copy editing. I pretty much just sit here and watch TV and log on here. When I've got a good book I'm reading, I'll read some of it before I go to bed, which is usually between 3:30 and 5:30 a.m., but has been earlier the past few days.

 

I forgot about that last part. Good catch, Xan.

By the way, he's usually wearing some sort of hat in my fantasies.

 

you? that's *me*! write_brained is my fantasy.

 

Well, then, that's completely inaccurate. I'm strictly a hats off kind of guy.

It's easier to spread my seed that way.
