I enjoyed reading this. I like the format.

The subheadings (Monday, Tuesday . . .) provide a structure to make the week seem integrated and coherent, but it's a deceptive coherence. There's also panic and anxiety. Someone gets up and goes to work one or two days a week. There's technology yearning and a speeding ticket.

You seems to teach on Wednesday nights. Teach what?

There's a "nightmarish case that has been bouncing around" for the better part of a decade. Only you are trusted with it.

On Thursdays and only Thursdays, there's a "young'un" and "essays to grade." Is there a domestic life?

There's even an unusually clean "concealed weapon."

All kinds of hints

I'd like to write a week in the life like this. I must try it for Pubski one day.

I'm glad you enjoyed it!

It's actually Tuesdays and Thursdays with the youngin, and then weekends.

I train kung fu Mon/Wed/Fri basically all night (6-10, give or take). I also teach Monday and Wednesday mornings.
