This is pretty much why I started taking those days off. Nobody else I work with is around, so it's not like you get anything done.

I work with a lot of people outside the US. They're piling it on today because they know it's a 4-day weekend for us and trying to push everything through before we unplug.

I've been amazingly productive today. I went to my old office to get some work done on this big project that just came in and except for my hourly GRB breaks I've been killing it. lol

I'm basically trying to hide at my desk and hope that my boss doesn't ask for anything else. I just can't bring myself to be productive today. I have done the things that have to be done but I'm not going out of my way otherwise.

And I'm leaving an hour early to get a head start on boozing it up for Skanksgiving.

Isn't that kind of a reason to go to work though? You know you'll just [expletive] around all day, so it's kind of a day off anyway.

true. and some people brought in food for the people who are here and the phones are barely ringing at all...i guess i can never prepare myself for how slow the day ends up feeling.
