An email just went out to the insurance department (which is the department that I work in) stating that anyone who is normally scheduled to leave at 5pm or 6pm and would like to go home now (now being 4:30pm), feel free to go. I want to go home early! It's not my fault that I don't leave until we close. I feel totally ripped off. It's not like there's any chance that we'll close early which means there is no chance that I will be leaving any earlier than normal. Oh, well. That's life, right? Now I know why I felt like it was a half day... just not a half day for me. I guess that means it will continue to be slow today. That's better than being stuck here and being swamped. The glass is half full - right? Although, now that I think of it.. with people going home it will probably get busier than it has been because there aren't as many people to take the calls.

Update: Now they've sent one out for people who leave at 6:30pm and want to go home now (now still only 4:35pm) can take off. They're killing me here. I'm trying to stay positive about this. *grin*
