Daily Routine

"For the last year and a half his daily routine had been: Come in late, say eleven; flirt with the receptionist; got to lunch early, eleven-thirty; return from lunch late, about three; copy must-do list from today's calendar page to tomorrow's; walk fast around the office; leave early, no later than four-thirty. Everyone knew it for almost as long as he did, and he knew that they knew. It all just flowed so nicely that no one wanted to fuck with it."
—John O'Brien, Leaving Las Vegas, 1990
