I guess he works every day but Sunday at the restaurant. Stanford's had a quiet weekend, relatively speaking.

For those who are confused by the "M" to indicate time, it refers to Meridian, or the highest point of the sun that day, or the mid-point of the day, that is, noon. Post-meridian, or P.M., refers to after noon, therefore. In this system, 12 P.M. designates midnight. Though it was common in Stanford's time, people rarely use M to designate noon anymore, preferring 12 PM for noon and 12 AM for midnight. A.M., or ante-meridian, means before noon.
