badstarI came into work last night only to find that I didn't actually have to be here.
See...weeks ago, I emailed Dave to ask if there was still time off available for New Years Eve or Day.
He never bothered to respond, I assumed there wasn't, never filled out an actual request.
Yesterday afternoon, Ahmed called me to check and see if I was still planning to use my time off for tonight. Huh? I told him that I never filled out a request and that I was going to be in. I came into work last night, and found the schedule with me blacked out for last night and tonight. Ahmed told me to call him early in the day today if I decided that I wanted to use the time off for tonight after all, said that one of my coworkers had volunteered for the holiday hours.
Late last night, I decided that I would go ahead and take the time after all. Today when I got home from work, and several times through the day I tried to call Ahmed, but his phone went straight to voice mail every time and he never got back to me...so here I am at work. I'm the only person in the office. It's too quiet. Alternately reading Walden and knitting. And talking to a few folks on AIM. The only light right now is Christmas lights, my recently inherited from who knows where desk lamp and my monitor...I'm so tempted to turn on every light in the office but that would be silly.
