Weekday Morning Hell Bingo

I want to develop a routine. It'll make me more interesting. How so? A person who regularly does the same things at the same time is boring. Either that, or he's establishing an alibi to cover for nefarious deeds he's controlling from a distance using apps on a disposable smart phone. I bet you're wondering what my other hand's doing under this table right now. Never say that sentence again in life.

"Superstition's always worked in the past."

"Monday! Are you still here?"

"I'm sick of watching the same movie every day."

"My favorite way to start the day...coffee, danish, and a data dump."

"My teacher didn't assign any homework for tonight...this throws off my whole routine!"

Bathroom shelf full of clocks and pills.

'Same thing every year. We head for the wardrobe and end up stuck at the lights!'

"We go on daily walks too, but my master is a creature of habit: we take exactly the same route every single time..."

A paperwork machine spews endless paperwork

"I know, I know, every time we come here, I swear I'm going to try something new, but I always end up getting the same thing."

"You keep impeccable time."

"It's kind of sweet when they're all settled in like this."

'Everything is automatic. The coffee turns on at 7:00...They go to work at 7:25 and we go up and get in their bed.'

Daily Routine

"I'm feeling adventurous today, Penny – let's tack on a block."

"Bear with us, will you? -- We're having technical difficulties over here."

'When the poor dear retired, he found that he missed his little cubicle.'

"No matter the weather or what's on my plate, I'm here at five. That's discipline."

Samuel Pepys' writer's block
