I got to the office at 8 am, and there couldn&#8217;t have been more than two or three other people on both floors combined. A lot of the lights hadn&#8217;t even been switched on yet. I&#8217;m not sure I could say I used that quiet time too <i>productively<\/i>; I didn&#8217;t have a particularly busy day all around, despite a small can of worms an author&#8217;s e-mail opened first thing this morning*. But it was kind of nice being there before almost anyone else. And because I&#8217;d arrived half an hour early, I decided to leave half an hour early, at 4 pm. That&#8217;s the way our flextime policy works. Theoretically, if I got there at 7 am, I could leave at 3. (Next month&#8217;s summer hours put a new wrinkle on this, keeping me there until after 5 every day, but I&#8217;ll get to leave at 1 pm every Friday. So that&#8217;s good.)<\/p>\n<p>Other than that exciting recount of my work day, there&#8217;s not much to report. Just a typical Friday, and, alas, this time <i>not<\/i> the start of a three-day weekend.<\/font><\/p>\n<p><font face=\"Verdana\" size=\"1\">* More a weird mix-up that will need to be fixed next week than a genuine aggravation.
