A Period Of Time In The Life Of Jack Sisco

Chapter 1: Monday

"Hiya boys." Chris greeted as she walked into the conference room. "Hey" I replied without taking my eyes off the TV. Copper, my 4-month-old black lab (don't ask why his name is Copper then) snorted in my lap. He opened one eye, wagging his tail once he saw Chris. "Hey cutie." She said lovingly, patting his head. He yipped and happily leapt into her arms. " What are ya watching?" she asked. "I'm sorry, did you say something?" asked mockingly, I was angry that Copper chose Chris over me. As I expected, she smacked me in the back of the head. "Don't mock me, Jack Sisco." She yelled. "Ouch!! That really hurt, Chris." I whined. "Now, why I was here." She ripped the remote out of my hand, ignoring my protest, and changed it to the Weather Channel. "Look how much snow we've gotten!" Our area of Zi appeared on the screen. Next to it was "13 inches of snow". "You mean.." I started "Yep" she said confidently as she shoved a black snow shovel in my face. After 2 hours of shoveling the roof of the base (so it won't collapse under the weight of the snow) and the surrounding area, Kelly came to join the "jolly" situation. "She got you too?" I asked her once she was in hearing range. She just nodded and set to work. Finally, after an additional 3 hours, we were done and turned to admire our work. Unfortunately, it was snowing the whole time we were shoveling and everything we shoveled was now covered with 6 inches of snow. "Oh guys," Chris called from her recliner in the living room, "we're supposed to get 30 inches, so keep shoveling." Kelly and I took action. Soon Chris was out shoveling while Kelly fixed the heater and I walked my 8- month-old German shepherds, Dennis and Derringer, and Copper. I was freezing and miserable as I waited for Derringer to crap. "I hate Mondays," I said under my breath. I decided to take my anger out on the day instead of Chris. " I HATE MONDAYS!!!"
