The fact that the first day of summer is the longest day of the year is the best and worst fact all at once. Everyone that isn't insane loves long sunny days (putting aside the heat for a moment), if they are in fact sunny of course (we had yet another rainy morning and sunny afternoon). But at the same time the fact that the days will only get shorter from here out is an unpleasant harbinger.
But I digress... My new employee started today, so we had to go through the runaround of in-processing. A couple of times it really felt like the longest day as we were waiting at the badging office to get him base credentials. But I sure am glad I took the time to process a bunch of his paperwork on Friday because it would have been a lot worse today without it. We only have a little over a week to ramp him up before my other employee leaves for the UK. It's going to be a challenge.
I did work a little late today since the kids are away, but not too much so, just enough to catch up from being gone a big chunk in the middle of the day.
Afterwards I ran an 8:53 mile. I had intended to slow it down and go for 1.5 miles, but it didn't work out that way and there was just no way I was making it more than one. I don't know if it's the Monday thing or what, but I was just zapped today after the run.
