0500 - Wake Up
0800 - Work

1700 - Drive Home
1745 - Turn on CNN and plop down in the recliner with my laptop in my lap.
2245 - Bed time
You might be able to actually see more election results if you weren't on such an early schedule...
I wish i could stay up a lot later Tuesday night, but I don't dare miss Day 3 of my new job on Wednesday...

Ok, how about the part I bolded this time? Why so much time between waking up and starting work?

I'm probably not going to watch anything.

The only thing that would turn my TV on is if some surprise scenario was unfolding where the Republicans take control of the Senate and then Democrats take control of the House. Otherwise, it's not interesting enough.

Well, I was wrong.  The bloodletting was so deep and widespread, the Dems understand Obama's policies were rejected by the American people.
