Days Like These

It’s days like these when I wish “two weeks’ notice” was in some Army regulation somewhere. Rest assured, I would know precisely what the Army had in mind whenever they put that phrase into one of their seemingly-infinite regulations or manuals.

Today wasn’t a particularly bad day. In fact, I was out of the office, albeit, sitting in a class, but I was out of the office the majority of the day nonetheless.

It’s difficult to say what made this such a particularly bad day.

Maybe it was the fact that my family and I had plans for this evening, and they were thwarted.

Maybe it was the fact that it was well over 85° F in the office when I finally did have to go in.

It could have been that 5:00pm crawled on by without a passing glance, and 7:00pm, even though I was finally able to go home at that time, looked less than pleasant.

I’m sure tomorrow will be better, as it always is.

But if it’s just as bad or worse, I’m definitely going to be cracking open an Army Reg. or two and searching for a particular phrase.
