idiocy and sleeplessness

The Toyota Foundation stuff is piling up in the final mountain that editing work always forms right before it gets finished. I was at the office until past midnight last night . . . the last person here, of course. I switched off the printers and turned out the lights and locked the doors, and then I stuck the one and only key to the company in my pocket and took it home to Koganei rather than stick it in the little key box on the office building’s first floor. Oops.

Naturally there were no trains back to the center of town by the time I figured out I had the thing, so I had only one option: to be the first one here this morning. The woman who cleans up the place comes in at a little after eight, and I was here before her, with four hours of sleep behind me and a big cup of Tully’s coffee in my hand. My timecard is depressing. Punched out last night at maybe 12:20 and punched back in at 7:56 . . . Aren’t people supposed to work for about eight hours a day?

    I did it once, too. Wanted to come early as you did, but I knew the guard’s around, so bang the door loud till he came, and stuck the key in. Felt like a barbarian though.
