The door to his office soon shuts and the world is my own for the next little while. I walk into the bedroom and pull the blinds shut, kick off my shoes and lay down on the bed hoping that soon the overwhelming need for sleep will appear and allow me to get some rest. I wait and wait and wait, and n
