[QUOTE=pravnik] I’m not planning on physically leaving, but after a certain point I’m going to quit working on anything and start dicking off. Actually, now is good. [/QUOTE] That. I hate second shift. ---

[QUOTE=Gorsnak] It being the long weekend, I skipped out at 2:30. On my way home my phone rang with a work-related call, and I answered “We’re sorry. The number you have dialed is out of service for the long weekend. Please hang up and try your call again on Tuesday.” 😃 [/QUOTE] Gorsnak, cheers to another ToonTownian! I grew up and lived there and miss it so… I live northwest…by my location in my profile perhaps you can guess where it is 🙂 ---

Ft Mac? I’m quite happy to enjoy the diffuse economic spinoff effects of your lil black gold rush up there from this rather comfortable distance, personally. 🙂 ---

Boooooo! I work till 8:30pm on Fridays. The good thing is that my English school is half of my house so I have a one-door-thick commute. I still hate Fridays… ---

Oh yeah - after working all weekend last week & with rain in the forecast for this weekend, I skipped out 2 hours early — to mow the lawn. (party! whoo hoo!) ---

I’ve had the whole week off! Spent it in sunny Spain. Except it rained all week. ---

Not only did I not get to leave early, but I was stuck out in the field so long that I got back to the office late. So I ended up leaving work a half hour later than normal. Shit. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/im-skipping-out-of-work-early-today/449547.md?page=1)
