Almost everyone stationed in Iraq dreams about the day when they will leave Iraq. It doesn't matter if someone has just begun their tour or is about to finish it. Everyone just wants to go home.

Thankfully, a bored American living inside the Green Zone made the "Baghdad Donut." The donut is simply a round chart embedded into an excel spreadsheet that calculates how much time someone has left in their tour. (I recently found out that if I hold down the F9 key while looking at my donut, it continually updates the chart to help fool me into thinking that my tour is racing by at blistering speed.)
