knocking off early
Today’s weather report tells me it’s going to be sunny and in the 80s by noon today. I have entirely too much annual leave just sitting there because there’s been almost no reason to go anywhere, and no place to go, for most of a year. I’ve been working pretty hard this week, and am at the point where I am dependent on others to get their crap together so I can continue to make progress with my work projects.
The solution to this equation? I’ve unilaterally decided that I’m going to knock off a couple of hours early this afternoon and enjoy the weather, because damn it, I deserve a break, I’ve been watching everyone else around me taking their spring break this week, and I want a little piece of that action.
A nice long afternoon ride on the Capital Trail, followed by a cold, socially-distant beverage at one of my city’s many excellent watering holes sounds like just the ticket for a short well-earned respite from the grind.
If y’all need me after noon today, it can wait until tomorrow morning.
