waiting for the rankings

I'm sleepy and aching to get a hold of the controller of my PS2 console at home. But I can't go home yet. It's just one of those days when I'm held hostage by Page 1, Page 3 and the Jump Page.

Yeah, you know them. As much as I love the challenge of laying them out and feel a sense of satisfaction of seeing them on print the next day, closing Pages 1, 3 and the Jump Page is so damn tiring. I closed the sports page really early, bracing myself for my Page 1 adventure.

I'm sitting on my boss' comfy chair, which is quite a luxury actually since I'm confined to a monobloc chair on normal days (sometimes, i don't have to scour the other floors in the office just to get a chair). So okay, I'm waiting for the rankings of the story determined by the editor-in-chief.

I guess I would have to deal with this tonight. I'm going to do this again tomorrow but I'm not looking ahead.

Time to put the paper to bed.
