Text exchange with DB and MS regarding work.... 
and back to sleepus interruptus for awhile.

Kissed Merry, good bye...
  Car 1827. 
   Gauge showed "18 miles remaining".
  Stopped at gas station, for all I could afford, fifteen dollars (3.81 gallons)
  At work  19:16.

Not a rough night, not an easy night, just a busy one.  
Dealing with Sunday night's work, and Monday morning's...
And more reservations calls than I've had on the late shift in a long time... 
At 2245, a network person called to book a car for a guest, outside of Phoenix, for 01:15  ... and a 4:15 return from the studio. 
My co worker KW handled most of it, and was on hold for awhile, before our primary Phoenix affiliate agreed to cover it.
At midnight (0300 Eastern) I spoke to a network person, requesting a 4:30 pickup in Fredericksburg, to go to their DC bureau, for a wait and return.  That's 90 minutes notice, in a town in which we don't have a primary provider, but is in between two affiliates we have,  about 60 miles from either.  
Seven calls to DC affiliates, two calls to Richmond affiliates, and no help.
I called the network person back, who did not seem too terrible disappointed, or surprised, that I could not get it covered.
