Being Naughty

[bewize]

So, I realized this morning, as I was frantically rushing to court, that I forgot something I needed at home. It's a personal need, not a work need, but I finally decided - while I was sitting in traffic forever that I actually NEED to put some "me time" in a place of priority. So I decided to come home and take an hour to do what I needed to do.

Then I got home and started wondering what would happen if... I just didn't go back to work today.

So, I'm not!

And we shall see if the world ends. I've already ended up not doing one thing that I probably should have done (work wise), but I've done 3 things that I needed to do personally. And since I didn't get home from work until 10 last night (and actually didn't get home from dinner until almost midnight - there is no food. I stopped at Bellas.) - I feel as though maybe I'm entitled to a bit of playing hookie.

I've got the laundry going. I'm going to change my bed linens. I'm going to get the last three gifts into the mail. I may stop and buy the last three gifts I actually need.

I do have to go back to the office for a little bit tonight, to put one thing in the FEDEX, but... F it. I'm going to try and get all the interviews done this afternoon that I need to do over the next few weeks, and maybe, I dunno, go for a run or something.

I'm cracking under the strain, and this is the only thing I can think to fix it. Plus... it's kind of fun. *shifty eyes*

At my work, we call it VTO (voluntary time off), and it can do wonders for your morale to have unexpected free time. Enjoy it. :)

Good for you. You can't get everything done if you crack up, and some space to breathe will help.

Being naughty is nice! Santa will understand. :-)
