I think I might have a problem.
I opened a tab for Hulu.com, to watch TV on my laptop, and the number of items in my queue is a whopping 653 !! I set out wondering, wow, how long will that take to watch? Assuming each entry was an hour (which they're not all, since some will be excerpts, and I delete those), that would be a monstrous 26.45 DAYS to watch them all, plus potty breaks.
(635 / 24 = 26.4583333)
Look, I'm as much an insomniac as the next person, but even I can't stay up for 26 DAYS! No matter how fascinating watching yet another clip of the Royal Wedding hats can be.
Then I remembered that online you save so much time since they don't have 15 minutes of commercials peppered thoughout each hour. So I had to refigure it all with only 45 minutes each, or 25% less. Miss Mathophobe started to hyperventilate at this point, and determined she was NOT going to divide by 4 and then multiply by 3 again....she was going to buckle down and master that pesky percentage thingage for once. (I tell you it really rots being just still smart enough to have a glaring grasp on how stupid you've become over the years.)
So.... 26.45 X .75 = 19.8375 days
Oh, that's MUCH better. I think I'll still have time for a little Facebook before ...
