Now I *know* there's a pattern here. Any theories about this one? :)) >>
Well my theory is that its the amount of time off I have. I forget how
George's schedule works, but for me I work two 24 hour shifts a week. That
leaves me with 5 days off each week. Plenty of time for a side job to
supplement my pitiful wage, and plenty of time for observing.
