Commentary: This is a reference to the Twilight Zone episode "Time Enough at Last", where a bank teller emerges from a vault to find himself alone after an atomic disaster.
With no one to bother him, there was time to read all the books he wanted.
However, when he reaches down for that first book to start, he breaks his glasses.
Admin here is like the bank teller, except they can't play video games because they are sold out, even though there was time now with covid-19 quarantine.
