what do you do if you get to leave work early?

there's a chance i might be able to scoot out of the office a few hours early today, like my manager suggested to me at the end of last week. if i'm going to do it, today's the only day -- my whole day is free and clear of meetings, whereas the rest of the week is packed solid. i'm going to try my darndest, i need the break... but what the heck do i do with a few hours to kill? yes, i need to do responsible house-y stuff like switch the electricity into my name... but part of me wants to just drive into the city and read a book in an outdoor cafe or something. i'll have to ponder this.

got a lot done at work yesterday... i "took a lot of bites out of the elephant", as the saying goes. i even got to record a voiceover, which i haven't done in a million years. the big project i'm working on is a morning of workshops that our sales managers will run with their reps at a meeting, and we need to train them on the information... so we're creating an online training module with narration that takes them through everything. for one of the chapters, they asked me if i'd do the narration, since i created all of the info. so i got to sit in the booth with the headset and big fat mic and everything, and voice about 15 minutes of script... lots of fun. i didn't expect my 15 minutes of fame to be on a training CD for my company, but what the heck, i'll take it. :)

I 100% vote for the drive in the city and book reading.

Your mind and body needs a break, you deserve it.

If you get the urge for company, holler. If you don't, jealously guard your 30 seconds of self time. (:

Another vote for city+book. You can make your little phone calls at work - for FREE!

I'm sure the manual will become an underground web fad, and I'll be able to say "Oh! I know her!"

I vote for whatever will help you relax the best. If that's sitting with the book, then enjoy your book. If that's checking some stuff off your list so you can sit with a book later, then do that instead.

Take care of you... whatever that means for you right now.

DON'T waste time worrying one way or the other. Pick something and go with it. :) :) :)
