Why the Central Time Zone Sucks
Well hello, and thanks for stopping by.I'm reporting today from beautiful Glens Falls, NY, where surprisingly they have more snow than Chicago. Being in NY for my training for my new job, I've realized that the central time zone sucks, particularly in response to them picture boxes called TVs.
I always wondered why my favorite shows (the OC) were on at 8pm, 7 central. For a while I was moved by this, that they made an exception for me...but then I grew up and realized life isn't as great as you thought it was. Why make an exception for this time zone. Everywhere else in the country, prime time is at 8. Why 7 in the central time zone?
Personally, I think it confuses a lot of people...but simplifying life for America isn't the motive behind this rant. What is that motive, you ask? three letters: PTI. PTI (Pardon the interruption) is quite possibly the best sports show ever made...and in Central time, it's on at 4:30, which means that only middle-aged housewives (who are usually sports retarded) and college students are the people privileged to watch it. But here in New York, and the majority of the rest of the country, it's on at 5:30, which is just in time to be starting when I roll in from work.
So, whoever is in charge of the time zone thing on TV (probably Condi Rice or Hillary Clinton) please see if you can change it, so everyone in the central time zone can enjoy this quality late afternoon programming.

I also wish I could catch PTI after work. I never knew Chicago was getting shafted.
Let me know how Trump is doing when you get a chance, Shablizz.
I finally wrote a post that you might have a slight interest in.
