Last week at 3:14: porch sitting

My college has declared that Fridays are half-days, at least for people who work based on the clock and who can go home Friday afternoon without leaving important aspects in the lurch.   So this policy doesn't have much effect on, say, our public safety officers.   Also it has nearly zero effect on professors.  

For me, as an administrator, it means the office clears out and is even quieter than usual.   There's part of me that enjoys banging out work in that particular peace-and-quiet setting.  But last Friday, I decided I could come home and spend time banging out work on my front porch with my faithful companion acting as neighborhood greeter.

So, still "at work" in the sense of activity, but not "at work" in the sense of location or atmosphere.   It's really nice to have a happy place to sit, and lovely weather to enjoy, and random neighbor encounters.
