It's not a schedule, but rather, a guestimation.

I have a handy-dandy planner that I keep track of EVERYTHING on, in order to maintain control of my life..

Because I'm soooo busy...

Not really. But I need my planner to keep track of my life. So I just it. Its a big one, 8x11 size. I write all my school assignments in it, all important school dates, all Pampered Chef shows, coffee dates, doctors appointments, babysitting...I mean EVERYTHING goes into this thing so that I make sure I show up when I'm supposed to. I hate being late. I hate canceling on people, and I hate hate HATE forgetting things. I also hate making people wait.

Lets talk more about the waiting.

The Charlotte has this wonderful thing they like to call a "schedule" of all the upcoming sea trials, EastPac, Rimpac, WestPac, all that nonsense. But really. The thing is not a schedule. It's more of a "hey this is the date that we are supposed to leave so tell your wives that and then tomorrow we are going to give you a new date, and then the day after that we will give you a new date. So really what we are saying is that we have no idea we are just throwing random dates out at you so that you have no idea what the eff is going on."

Yeah.

I don't know about you, but thats not how I run my "schedule."

Hey, Kristie, sorry. Can't make it to coffee tomorrow. I'm going to push it back until March 3rd. But then on March 2nd I'm going to tell you I can't make it until March 9th. And then March 9th at 7:45am when you are prepping for me to come (or in the case of the submarine, have already said goodbye to your man) I'm going to tell you my car broke down and I can't come until tomorrow.


Again. Yeah.....


Seriously. Why can't women run the Navy? Everything would be so on time!

For reals. JUST LEAVE!
