If you remember correctly, you might have some leftover pizza to eat once you get home. Just when you're starting to wonder when exactly that might be, your timer goes off. You gather up your things and walk down the hall to the developing room to wait the minute and a half it takes to see the results of your day's work. And, surprise!
