that if you count the parking lot (and you should) and the "smokers' chimney" (an open air pentagonal donut hole in the center of the building), the Pentagon has 7 rings just like Dante's Hell?
Would you say a prayer for Bill who is finding it a very trying place to work and for us who also find it a very trying place for him to work? Thanks!

I just spit coffee on my monitor, thank you very much!
I am so sorry Bill is having a hard time and I will pray -- but the way you worded that was just too funny. I know folks who have worked there -- definitely mixed reviews. Hang in there.

I didn't want to be too much of a whiner since I have so much to be grateful for. 
Thank you all for all your prayers!

Yes, it is very trying on all! Dh has gotten a bit used to it after 18 mos, but I can't wait until his tour is up this summer. Things that have helped him have been to get out of the office every day to PT and make it as often as possible to daily Mass.
I will certainly keep you, dh, and your family in prayer.

My dh roared with laughter over this. He said it is a perfect description, Rachel. Good thing it cannot last forever!
Prayers from a post-Pentagon wife.

Rachel, Bill has been in my prayers! It is so stressful when the dh isn't happy at work. :(
(and your description was hilarious!)

Rachel, I have been praying since you posted! Adding you both to our daily Saint Joseph prayers and rosary.
You can post to the happyisthehusband list, too, for extra prayers.
I am sorry you both have this to endure.

Thank you, thank you for all the prayers! They are working...Bill has actually showed up before 9 once this week and less frustrated than usual. A definite improvement!
