    A typical work day at the arboretum begins at 7:00 a.m, although the boss does not show up until 7:20 a.m on an average day because he never accounts for the time it takes to get his Starbucks coffee and bagel-breakfast sandwich from Panera every morning. Surely because of his constant tardiness one could assume that he would understand a worker being a few minutes late occasionally, but no. If the boss does show up on time, which he does from time to time, and a worker is not there by 7:00 a.m sharp, not only will he write the worker up for being late, he will also be a jerk about it and remind them of all the mistakes they have been making recently while on the job. Although in his job description he is to inform and guide us through our work, he doesn't. Instead he sits in his office, reads the paper, and drinks his stupid, foofy, girly coffee which that adds to the putrid aroma of his unbrushed teeth.…

    Why I was late for PT on Monday is that I did not wake up when my alarm on my phone went off. This may have been because I got very little sleep last weekend, and I also went through a bad break up, but that is still no excuse. I should have found a way to wake up and been to PT on time Monday. How I plan on fixing myself is that I plan on buying an actual alarm clock and using that. I plan to set it on the other side of the room, so that when it goes off, I actually have to get up to turn it off. There fore resulting in me having already gotten out of bed and not going to fall back asleep. Currently how I have it fixed though I that I have multiple alarms set up on my phone so that in case I do fall back asleep I will be woken up by another alarm. I also have to call Corporal Flores at 0500 to tell him that I am awake, at 0520 I have to call Corporal Jabalde to let him know that I am awake. then again at 0530 I have to call Corporal Flores telling him that I have a ride. I have to call Corporal Flores for a week straight(excluding weekends). Along with that if I do not call him one time, further actions will be taken to ensure that I am awake and ready for PT on time.…

    In this amazingly well thought of essay i will discuss with you today of the series of actions that brought me to write this paper, the possible effects these actions might have on the accomplishment of the mission, and how to discourage and possibly stop such things from ever happening to me. The reason I am being subject to this time consuming, uninspired, and rather boring writing assignment is because I failed to be at the correct place of duty at the time appointed to me by my superiors. The story begins on the previous night before the great war known to many as “The Great Flu Battle of Monty Gym” like any other night it will start with a handsome young private he might be a tad on the short side and his chin might not be as squared as he’d like but handsome none the less, and his bad luck with the evil things known as alarm clocks ! As this young private gets off work just like any other day he scurries towards his den his manly cave of freedom, sweat, food, alcohol, and lotion known as his barracks room opening the door as he knows in his mind that now at last he is free from the clutches of the men referred to by the people as THE NCO’s for he knows this is a safe haven where as long as he knows not to make a single peep as Ann Frank once did long ago nothing can harm him with such horrible, wretched, evil weapons known as extra duty or some also known as “detail” but not everyone gets so lucky not everyone can escape alive for those unlucky bastards I applaud for when you so happen to see them again if by luck this is so. it is the look on their defeated eyes like windows towards the soul knowing they could be so lucky as to dine pig at the great halls of a place to some referred as The Taste Korean or maybe drinking slushies’ at The amazing Sonic, but that is not so for them and that is why I salute you my friends my comrades my brothers in arms ! Knowing the worst had passed the young private opening the door already…
