Ugh, there are literally 6 cars in the parking lot, and because people are here, I have to provide support for them. Shoot me now.

They emailed us saying we can get out a whole 2 hours early!!!

It's going to be a long day. Maybe I'll watch a movie on TV Dome, get him to the greek is on there.

I'm here. Parking garage is probably about 70% as full as usual, and at least there was no traffic. I don't really mind.

These days rock. I never take off the day before a big holiday because:

- There's no one here, so you can get your crap done and leave for the holidays with a 'mostly' clean slate

- There's usually one big-wig here, and they dismiss the office @ 3:00 regardess of what time you came in

The workweek for Thanksgiving and Christmas are cakewalks. I took the following Monday off to extend the vacation a bit.

I'm here but I wouldn't say I'm stuck working. All meetings have been cancelled. 50%+ of employees are out. My output will be approaching zero.

I'm here most of the day. I'm leaving an hour early to burn a stray hour of vacation that I've somehow accrued.

Working tonight. Probably not much to do since a lot of doctors and patients are on vacation (work in pathology lab). Hopefully that means more neffing time for me :p

I have class today; I'll also use some of today to finish up some lab work. When I was in college, I'd have skipped town already, but now I'm just a 45 minute train ride from home.

Judge scheduled a Case Management Conference for 2:00 PM. Chances are he'll be long gone and I'll be dealing with his clerk anyway. o_O

I was like, wtf are these guys talking about.
Then after that guy spoke about holidays and everyone told that no one is at work I got it because I remembered about a failblog where someone said happy thanksgiving.
No one probably gives a shit about my reasoning but I'm bored.

I am. There's almost no one here. And chances of leaving early are slim. And Gran Turismo 5 is waiting for me at home :(

It's about an average day here, maybe a few less people that started early. We normally get dismissed early at 3 pm, which is the normal time I leave anyway. So the 8 o'clockers get out 2 hours early, I work a full day. Go me. I'll be back here on Friday too, though nearly everyone else in the building will be gone.
