3:45 pm, Saturday afternoon
I have now been editing this documentary for four days straight. Averaging about 3 hours of sleep a night has slowly begun to take it's toll. Last night in a Red Bull induced haze, I'm pretty sure Wilford Brimley came to serve me a bowl of Quaker Oatmeal. My shoulders are knotted up so bad from being hunched over the computer that I'm ready to start ringing the bells in Notre Dame. I smell like stale laundry and my hair is about ready to jump off my head, walk into the shower and wash itself.
This is the career path I have chosen for myself. I love every single moment of it. Sure I could use a Silkwood shower and my social life is somewhat non-existant, but I'm in the zone right now. A few more weeks, a case of Jolt cola, and another bowl of oatmeal from Mr. Brimley, and I should be all done. I will have officially finished the first documentary of my professional career; at which time I will drink a bucket sized martini and kiss everyone in my path.
Look out world, I just might make something of myself after all.

Just make sure you check your blood sugar, and you check it often. Wilford told you so.
What kind of documentary are you working on? Am dying to hear more. But yes, I can see how the editing process would take days. Sifting through footage would take alot of time.
