How many of have a TV on in your shop while you work?

Submitted by Cecil 64.184.41.234 on 8/22/06 at 10:05 PM. ( ) 64.184.42.8

If so, what do you have on? I switch back and forth from CNN, The History Channel, The Weather Channel, Scifi, Discovery, Comedy Central (The John Stewart Show), and TV Land. I used to get the Outdoor Channel but it's not offered anymore.

But no dish in the shop. I watch local channels or put in a dvd.


I do, and I watch (or listen to)

I watch the local channels for I still am not getting rich enough after working 50 hours a week to afford cable. LOL. But the radio sings out country every now and then.


I watch

Radio stations are just too repetative, with the exception of NPR and Rush Limbaugh,of course. Don't you agree Cecil?


cd's

I ran a coax cable out to the shop originally for satellite, had to watch what the wife was watching in the house, switched to cable thru our telephone company (we are rural) now i can stream 2 signals one for house, one for shop works great, dsl also in the package. Watch Peoples Court, Judge Joe Brown, Judge Judy, Family Feud, That 70s Show, during the day. Tonight watched 20/20 Outsiders, segment on pet freeze drying, Macs Taxidermy, in PA, well done. Seinfeld, House, Gilmore Girls, Bones, Futurama, Simpsons in the evening.


Well

when I was at your place you wouldn't let me watch TV. My line up goes as follows. CNN, FOX ETC.. till 1200 then Mad TV, 1300 Dallas, Melrose Place (soap net), then news again till the Cool Kids from 90210 come on for the next 2 hours. After 90210 I watch news and TV Land till South Park comes on at 8:30. i've been told by a world champ I'd probably get more work done if I didn't watch so much TV. I also try to fit in the history channel and National Geo. Rachael Rae also had a really good recipe today. Today I watched Deadwood during my lunch break on HBO on demand. However, I mounted a deer (installed ears, sewed, set eyes etc..) finished another deer, and forgot I had someone coming over for me to show them how to mount a salmon. So I carved a form and got it on the form as well. Time to go George K is talking about the shrinkage factor on Seinfeld.


No wonder Cecil always has his facts wrong.

All that watching and nary a mention of watching Fox News!

Did not know you were on here. I think you must only listen to your tv. Your work is too good for you not to be looking at what you are doing!


When I

This response submitted by Becky P on 8/23/06 at 8:00 AM. ( ) 152.163.100.199

had a TV in the shop (moved into a new shop and haven't moved the TV and dish yet), I watched Fox News, DIY, HGTV, and Speed. I get plenty of the hunting/fishing shows when my husband gets home. But for now, it's the radio, either cd's (usually George Strait) or a country station. BP


TV

SIRIUS RADIO!

My shop is 3 miles from my house. I purposely don't have a computer or TV that is hooked to broadcast channels. I have a DVD and VHS so I can watch taxidermy training or other videos. I find a TV very distracting and Lord knows I have enough distractions in a days time.

I used to listen to local oldies radio but found they had a love for disco music that I didn't share. I broke down and bought a Sirius radio and signed up. I know paying for what is otherwise free flies in the face of some but I don't know how I did without it for so long.

I love the rock music of the 60s and 70s plus FOX News Talk. I can have them 24/7. I like the music as a background and find I work better if I have it. I come to the house if I feel I need to watch TV or play on the computer.


TV

well, every morning I would preset the satellite. typically if tennis was on, I'd watch that all day. or world cup back when that was going. then whatever good shows I could find. History channel is always awesome. I dream of Jeanie. Bewitched. Seinfeld. Bonanza. Home Improvement. yada yada. TV certainly makes working late easier (if planning to watch, might as well work, eh?)

My package doesn't include FOX. Even if it did, if I wanted that kind of news I'll buy a National Enquirer. At least CNN verifies things before it broadcasts them. LOL


John how'd the job interview go for Afghanistan?

at a bow hunting shop once. The owner was showing X rated videos. Seemed like the hunters were more excited by them then anything to do with bowhunting.
