>I'm not a GM, but I wish I could spend a typical day with one and see what they do all day.

The Life of a GM On Monday Morning

6:00am Wake up, breakfast of cheerios and stale beer to stave off last nights issues
6:30am **** Shower and a Shave
7:00am Leave for work
8:00am Arrive at work, begin first 15 minutes of goof off time
8:15am Suddenly realize you were suppose to finish something last night and forgot because of all that pr0n
8:30am Finish composing excuse letter to Warden
9:00am Realize you haven't finished something at work because you needed to write an excuse for something you didnt do last night
9:30am Finish writing email excuse to real boss
10:00am Browse play.net forums and post ambigious answers to specific questions
11:00am Start some real work, but halfway through begin to play Gemstone
12:00pm Put aside the game to start some real work again.
12:30pm Lunch! Its the Wendy's dollar menu cause your profit sharing check stunk this month
1:30pm Get back to work and attend "meeting"
1:45pm While people drone on in meeting you come up with a really nifty idea for code and jot it down
2:30pm Meeting over, you cram some stuff and get things done because of what was said in the meeting
4:00pm Its 4 oclock.. last hour of the day. Everyone knows thats your time. Play Gemstone
5:00pm Shift over, you head home... but not after you browse some sites from work cause the admin forgot to turn on the websense filter
6:30pm You get home and pound away a quick meal of Chef B meatballs and spaghetti
7:30pm Get on computer, check email, hatemail, rave mail, oo la la your love mail. Ratio is 10 - 100 - 2 - 0
8:30pm Start coding that project you made the excuse about this morning from the code you jotted down in the meeting.
9:50pm After an hour or so of hair pulling you PM GM "insert name" and ask "What the heck is wrong"
10:20pm GM "insert name" says you forgot a colon
11:00pm Finish project and you email it to QC a satisfied man.. Onto the pr0n!
12:30am Goto sleep

Thats Monday.. what will Teusday hold for our GM...

Stay tuned tomarrow, same bat channel, same bat time.

<-4 Oclock and MySQL can kiss my mother loving.........

You should change the times from 11:00/12:30 to 11:00/11:05.
