In the last 34 hrs I accomplished the following:

1 ten hour afternoon tour (that became eleven and a half hours)

followed by

1 eight hour overnight tour

followed by

getting home in time for a shower and change of clothes

before

getting back on the train to open the bookstore

followed by

working another eight hours

then finally getting back home

and doing a load of laundry so that I have something resembling clean uniforms...

...And discovering that my loan application for next year's full tuition at my chere college was approved.

So yes, the last 34 hrs without sleep were worth it. Completely and entirely worth it.
