"long day's journey into work"

 

Shelley Hack, Season 4 "Angel"


In the Charlie's Angels documentaries on You Tube, they mention working long hours - specifically, "18-hour days."

        How is that possible?  There are 24 hours in a day, and if you seriously work 18 hours, there are only 6 hours left before the next day of working starts.  You need eight hours of sleep, and there are not even eight hours left, only six. 


        And you aren't even going to get six hours of sleep, unless you lie down right where you are, with a pillow, where you were working, when you stop working, and Sleep Immediately, for the whole six hours, because that's all that is available to you, and that doesn't even leave time for brushing your teeth and cleansing and moisturizing your face and even changing into pajamas.


You cannot work "18-hour days" - that doesn't make sense.  (As young people say on  the Internet, "The math ain't math-ing.")


Maybe they worked "hard," and the hours got a little long, and it "felt like" 18 hours to the actresses.


----------------------------------------- The actor David Doyle was on "Charlie's Angels" - I used to assume he was Charlie, but he wasn't, he was "Bosley."  Charlie would call and talk on the speaker-phone, and Bosley would meet in person with Jill, Kelly, and Sabrina.  (I didn't watch it closely enough.  I was - "aware" - of it.)


        David Doyle had started his acting career with stage work on Broadway.  He had a unique, great voice, and excellent timing.
