Oh come on. Please. No one really works on Friday. Stop pretending you're really doing whatever you keep pretending to do whenever Someone Important officiously walks by as if he really has somewhere to go, when everyone else know he's just doing a loop around the office so they think he's Important. As soon as he makes his rounds, he's going back to his office, shutting the door, pulling out a coloring book, and coloring outside the lines using burnt sienna and cornflower blue.
So why should you "work"?
Go here instead.
And for those of you who work at home, well ... give yourself the day off. C'mon. No one's looking. But just so you don't feel guilty, you may want to officiously walk around your house once and look Important as you scowl at the sofa and the blender.
Enjoy!

It's guys like me who keep the wheels of industry turning.
Can't trust you bastards at all.
My kind secretly hate your kind.
Not so secretly now, though.
Offered by: Pete on September 13, 2002 2:07 PMGoof off at work on Friday? Me? Never! Not only am I sitting here with my office door closed listening to Pink Martini and Coco Steel and Lovebomb but I am also planning on leaving at 3:00 PM and not returning until Tuesday.

Offered by: Jodi on September 13, 2002 11:58 AMI am in fact on vacation today, so I have no pretenses to maintain. I just got back from an industry conference in Orlando, where the entertainment was Huey Lewis And The News. As one person next to me put it, "I thought those guys were dead!" No, they are just living off royalties and playing in golf-friendly cities to crowds of middle-aged guys on expense accounts. You haven't lived until you've witnessed a "mosh pit" made up of electrical and chemical engineers in golf shirts and khakis.
