Daytime TV

So, I took a sick day today. I have a killer headache and I can't stop coughing. I'm a tough girl. I go to work even when I'm stroking out, but for some reason this headache is really getting the best of me. For that reason, I decided to stay home today.

Since I work full time, I rarely get to watch daytime TV. Watching daytime TV makes me glad I work full time. I have decided that daytime advertising is specifically geared to uneducated, toothless, injured, jobless people. I have seen more injury lawyer commercials today than I have in my entire life. If I'm hurt in an accident I need to call one of these injury lawyers, I may be entitled to more money than the insurance company tells me. Like we need to encourage people to be more money hungry than they already are. And typically those injury lawyer commercials are followed by some trade or technical school. I can get my CNA degree in only a matter of weeks and financial aid is available. Or I can get my culinary arts degree, or a degree in basket weaving online in one week. I can start my career in as little as ten minutes. Awesome! I'm all for people bettering themselves and getting an education, but I feel beat up after watching all these commercials. What I don't understand is all the denture and dental service commercials. Why are they specifically targeting the daytime audience? I can't seem to figure that one out, but I don't know I can get a set of dentures for as little as 300 dollars. Sounds like a bargain to me.

To sum it up, I'm going back to work tomorrow. No matter how bad I feel. I can't take another day of daytime TV.
