I’ve had at least one person ask me:
“Mike, what’s your typical day like?” – The aforementioned person
My response has usually been to shake my head in dismay, as there is nothing typical about me in any way, shape or form. But as this person gives up and starts to walk away, I offer/call out to/run after them to give them what I call “My Eventualistic Daily Program”, which is much different that what one would usually call a program that they follow each day. Mine is a program that has built in routines and subroutines, in that I don’t do it every day, but do it often enough that it appears to be a regular program if you’re not paying real close attention. It’s like when you learn BASIC computer programming language in school.
You all remember the GOTO and GOSUB commands in BASIC. Of course, you do. It was what you learned right before taking on Pascal. Anyway, GOTO repeated things over and over again, but GOSUB was inserted in between to allow for some differentiating (or waffling, as I call it) in between the GOTO statements. Now you clearly understand why I call my daily program as such.
So, without further delay, I’ll “run” the program for you:
12 AM GOTO SLEEP
10 AM GOTO ALARM CLOCK & HIT SNOOZE BUTTON
11 AM GOSUB 10 AM
12 PM IF DAY = MONDAY THROUGH FRIDAY THEN GOTO SHOWER, IF DAY = SATURDAY OR SUNDAY THEN GOTO 10 AM
1 PM GOTO COMPUTER & SURF INTERNET
2 PM GOTO FRIDGE, IF FRIDGE = NO BEER THEN GOTO BEER STORE
3 PM GOTO COMPUTER & WRITE EVERYTHING FOR DAY, IF MOOD = ESPECIALLY EVENTUAL THEN GOTO 12 AM
4 PM IF SHOWS ON TV = WATCHABLE THEN GOTO TOWN WITH TV WATCHING FOR REST OF DAY
5 PM IF AT = WORK THEN GOTO HOME, IF AT = HOME THEN GOTO 2 PM
6 PM GOTO DINNER
8 PM GOTO 2 PM
10 PM GOTO COMPUTER AND ACTUALLY WRITE DAY’S POSTS
11 PM IF MIKE = DRUNK THEN GOTO 12 AM, IF MIKE = SOBER THEN GOTO HELL CRAPPY BEER AND GOTO 12 AM
Eventual end of program.
