Just Two More Hours

At work I was pounding my way through some electronic drudgery, cleaning up a data set for later use on a policy question.

Just 10 minutes before it was time to leave, it finally occured to me: a way to work smarter rather than harder, a way to program the computer to do the dirty work quickly.

At another phase of my life, I would have been happy to throw in two more hours to follow that lead. But now, that's what tomorrow is for. It was time to go home and get back to the Monkey.
