I'll jump on the whiney train.

One of our departments (the biggest one in the company) has a huge project that they have to finish today, and so my boss isn't going to let us go early because it looks pretty crappy when they're here slaving away and HR is just like "peace out!" so I'm hoping they miraculously finish around 3, but I have a feeling that won't happen.

I have to go into work at 3, not really looking forward to working 3-8:30 on the day before Thanksgiving.

I hope they let us go early today...

I'm just glad I was able to telecommute today. I'd hate to have to commute in today's holiday traffic.

I have to drive through Hartford today to get to my parents house (I grew up in the burbs of Hartford). Hopefully traffic isn't too nightmarish.

blah 3 hours and 20 mins. We're supposed to be having a meeting with the CFO sometime this afternoon, but he hasn't even come in yet and although he says he'll be in, who knows? I could sure go for a meeting, because I'm not going to start work now.

I'm hoping the boss lets us go at 2pm. He let us go at 2pm last year so maybe he'll be nice again. I just want to get out of here before the traffic really starts.

That bites. Driving through Hartford is no fun even at the best of times - especially on I-84.

To everyone who's traveling today - be safe.

<sigh> 2 more hours. Why does it seem like these "day before the holiday" work days last for 48 hours???

oh my gawd we went out for the basketball games last night and I don't think I got to bed until 1 in the morning. I haven't gone to bed that late on a work night in ages. I'm so tired I just want to go home and nap.
