Lagging

The past couple of days have been very slow. There has been no one at the dealership. For a weekend, it was tragic. A lot of us resorted to reading training manuals, popular magazines, and other materials. A few salesman even dipped into the Crown Royal to pass the time. Today I was off, but I have a feeling that because I am off, there will be traffic.

Because I was off, I went to visit JROTC. We went over some book work; 1SG and myself also began to discuss the creation of a leadership team. I believe we need to get this program together. I made a commitment to them; before I leave, the program will be rolling.

After that, I went to my grandparents' house. My grandmother must have mentioned to my grandfather the idea of me leaving to the military. As soon as I walked into the house, he asked me if I thought about going to the military. I told him I was thinking about it; he immediately began to tell me why I should not go.

When he was finished I went outside to collect my thoughts, until I realized it was 1715. Every Monday at 1800 I have school. I was 20 minutes away from the school, and my iBook and other materials were at my house; that was another 20 minutes away. These travel times are based on regular traffic. It was 1715 on a Monday, and I had to drive from one side of the city to the other. Imagine the traffic!

So I made it to school around 1820. Not very late, but I was still late. I hadn't been to school in almost three weeks; I was a little slow at the start, but eventually I caught on.

In the end, the day was a long one. At least AAPL was up over 2%. Tomorrow, another day and another eight hours at work. Good times.
