Whoops...
I decided to make today a half-day. Our deadline was extended and it is only by treating myself once in a while that I avoid the ulcers that have begun to plague my officemate. Besides, I figured there already would be significant absences due to the impending three day weekend. So, somewhere around 11:30, I dragged myself into work and headed immediately for the lunch room. A. called with movie plans and we chatted during my leisurely walk back to my desk, whereupon I discovered the following email message from my manager:
I will be out today, but available on my cell if anything major comes up.
If you have no deadlines this afternoon, you should take off after lunch : )
Assuming I don't take advantage of this opportunity to get something accomplished in the relative peace and quiet of my abandoned office, this may just be the shortest workday ever.
