25. Probably 6 am

Tue Nov 5, 2024, 05:40 PM

Nov 5

Tonight I'm floor supervisor in a newspaper assembly facility.

The declared deadline for one of my papers is 11 pm, and the other one has a declared midnight deadline. I SERIOUSLY don't expect to see the first one until midnight and the other until about 1 am. It'll take about half an hour to put together the first one, and probably an hour and a half for the second. Once that's done we're looking at around half an hour to clean up the place, I'll drive home and eat...by the time I'm mellowed out enough to sleep the sun will be coming up.
