Calendar Gremlins
Everyone understands the monotony of routine. The 9-5 work schedule that seems to result in the disappearance of time. Days mystically compress into weeks, and those weeks rapidly evolve into months. Time slides by, and you are often left asking yourself where it possibly could have gone. I have...
