You know.. I'm not a huge fan of when people say, "It's been a long day." It might have felt long but it wasn't actually longer.
I'm gonna call BS on that one. When my day starts at 0800, I plan to leave at 1630. When the boss tells me at 1629 that there's now a 1700 meeting, the day has now become long.
Of course, if I skip said meeting...then I get duty, and my day becomes even longer!
