So last weekend was a holiday weekend and at my job most of the time we get to leave a little early before a holiday. Well, Friday came and we were anxiously awaiting the call that we could leave early. Time seemed to go fast and as time went on, my coworkers and I began to realize perhaps we weren’t leaving early that day. Lol.
