Here I am in the parking lot at work, two hours early. Why you might ask, well it’s simply because now I must run all errands before my shift starts.

Previously I worked from 6 AM to 3 PM, now I’m working 1:30 PM – 10:30 PM. Before I could do almost anything I needed as soon as I was off with no worries of running out of time, but since most things in this town shutdown at 9 PM or earlier my routine has been greatly interupted. At 10 am I had to go to bank, go to gas station go to rental office one last time and then on to grab breakfast. With everything being all over various point of the Metro, I had no choice but to rush to each location for fear of traffic and delays, the result, I’m at work at 11:25 am, 2 hours and 5 minutes prior to my new start time.

So this I charge to you, my home, my love, the metro city of Louisville/Jefferson County, work to incorporate retailers to remain open until midnight or later at least 6 days a week. I may want to read a new book at night that I heard about that day, I may want a smoothie to at 1 am to calm my thoughts and nerves after work. Maybe a couple rounds of bowling to wind down until 3 am?

Just look at the number of 24 hour factories/plants/major employers there are here in the ‘Ville, why no love for those of us who are not your standard nine-to-fivers?

Sincerly, el Jaime, los King de Everything.
