I tried not to get stuck working at night, but due to alphabetic ordering, I was first on the (Oops!) Call List. As soon I dozed off, I would get a call about a fork lift centerpunching a stock tank or a pallet load of product hitting the column. They knew what to do but acordong to the rules, they had to call. I really considered changing my last name to "Zebra" or some such. I got pretty good at sounding coherent at O-Dark Hundred and never really waking up. I am told that is a trick that physicians learn during their internship. They do a lot while sound asleep. I was occasionally confused by a name and lot number on a scrap on the end table after breakfast.

"I saw to what extent the people among whom I lived could be trusted as good neighbors and friends; that their friendship was for summer weather only; that they did not greatly propose to do right; that they were a distinct race from me by their prejudices and superstitions."

I hope it was a spirit-lifting project such as transmitters, and not a soul-sucking task like computers.

Hope you got to doze "with satisfaction".
