Good Friday
Tomorrow is another one of those days where my client (where my desk is located) is closed for the day, but
technically I don’t get the day off.
Basically, my boss has been sitting on some stuff to toss my way so I can keep busy on Friday and actually be working, as opposed to enjoying what would amount to a free day off.
Now, if I were to want to take the day off I could, it would just count against my vacation days. I don’t necessarily think that’s a good deal.
At least the building in which I work will be completely shut down tomorrow. I couldn’t get to my desk if I wanted to. Plus, I know what’s coming my way for tomorrow, so I’ve been piling the data I’ll need into spreadsheets all week, that way I can just plug it into the forms he’ll give me, and watch “The Price Is Right” from the comfort of my living room.
It’s funny. I’ve been busy this week, but I don’t think I’ve ever had a crazy, filled to the brim sort of busy day where I couldn’t take twenty minutes or more to crack away on a side project. In other words, if he had given me this stuff on Monday to tackle, I might not be done with it yet, but I’d probably be awfully close.
Instead, it’s a Good Friday project with a purpose. Don’t get too comfortable, you’re still on the clock. At least I can do it in my sweatpants.
