I can think of few things worse than being the only department working at 4:30 PM the day before a holiday. Even all the engineers with no real social lives are long gone. It's just us goons in Marketing Sector 7G, and a couple of tools over in Finance. *sigh* It's not like I expected to leave super early - I did only take a half hour for lunch - so isn't that worth, say, a three o'clock early release for good behavior?

I guess not.
