Raking Leaves on Christmas Eve

My duty hours for today were: 0745 - 1200. Today is Christmas Eve and our squadron was on minimum manning. Most people were just required to sign in and leave. The Chief sent everyone in the building around on details. Mopping, sweeping, vacuuming, picking up cigarette butts, raking leaves, sweeping sidewalks, and the works. I had to do it too, which is no problem, except that I'm trying to finish two EPRs that are due in the first week of January. One of them is mine, one of them is SrA Parker's. So we all finish up on details around 10 and I get to work on my computer. As soon as I open up the form to start typing, Lt Col Cote (sq CC) comes in and releases everyone for the day. I think to myself, "Wonderful! Peace and quiet to do my work alone." But then he made me leave too. He didn't care that I was busy, he wanted me out of work on Christmas Eve. He would not let me stay. So what am I doing? I'm working on two EPR's at home instead of at work...where I'd much rather be right now.

Merry.

Peace and Love,
