It’s 7:45 in the evening and I’m still here at work, trying to meet a deadline for submitting something to our funders. I really don’t mind these long hours, although it would be nice if I could simply leave my office and walk home. It’s times like this that I wish they would hurry up and finish the light rail corridor between the two downtowns.
You would not believe how quiet it is around here. Cemeteries and government buildings after 5:00 p.m. are equally creepy.

I suppose it depends which government building. I found a back stairwell to avoid students milling about on those too-frequent late nights.
