But I reserve the right to be annoyed anyway. :) You just don’t leave your coworkers hanging, and it happened twice today. Doesn’t matter that it’s not a “real” workday, if someone else’s departure depends on your arrival, dammit, you get there on time! When my relief arrived, I jumped up and dashed out the door with a cheery, “See Ya!” before she could ask for anything. I feel guilty about that, though, as it’s just as bad in it’s own way.
My queue ended up having no calls - a good thing, since I am still very fried from the week, and I fear I would have greeted anyone that did call with, “And what the hell do YOU want?!”
Still managed to meet my brother on time - we managed to get seated for lunch immediately, which almost never happens - apparently there weren’t many groups of 2 out today. Only got 1 present, something Mom had specifically requested last night - she was worried we wouldn’t be able to find it. Found it within 5 minutes of walking into Macy’s. :-D
I know folks that headed out at 5-freaking-30 this morning to shop. People think my brother & I are insane for going out on Black Friday, but we’re definitely not that insane. It’s more of a social event for us - a chance to walk & talk & eat & window shop & get ideas for the holiday. A fun tradition if nothing else.
Got home to discover the dog had escaped the basement. Whatever excitement went on between her & the cats was done by the time I got home, as she came galloping down the stairs very happy to see me. (Usually if she is on a tear with the felines, she is so tunnel visioned that you could drop an anvil on her head & she wouldn’t notice you.) Checked out all parties, everyone seems to be injury free, though the cats were NOT amused at the turn of events.
