Early Edition

Every night if you stay at the newspaper long enough, proof copies of the next day's paper are handed out. The employees can, after reading them for mistakes, take these copies home or distribute them if they feel generous. Some like to take the papers to friendly (or unfriendly) bartenders. Thursday night, upon arriving to the bar my friends and I found traces of our recently departed colleagues - a copy of Friday's paper sitting abandoned on a table. I handed it to a table full of young adults excited at the prospect of learning Tomorrow's News Today. Sometimes I imagine that it really is just like the old tv show "Early Edition" - that if you catch some news before it's released there's still a chance to change something, prevent a shooting. Usually this is when I am very tired.

There is nothing nicer than arriving at work, walking to your desk and finding that your most admired coworker has given you an award of blue hydrangeas in a glass jar.
