So, one might ask, "Other than just the fact that you are early, why do you hate getting to work early?"
Well, let me tell you. It is the little things really. I have to turn on the lights, printers are not warmed up, the ambient noise that is associated with an office is missing (it's quiet), there is nothing to distract me from accomplishing work (except for a certain blog), and when people who are usually here earlier than you get in, they always ask you why you are in so early.
Other than that, it is great. No, really. It is like having to come in on the weekend, without losing your weekend.
Nextly, one might ask, "Those reasons for disliking coming to work early are all well and good, but why exactly did you have to come in early this morning?"
Good question. The woman who watches my darling little boy is sick, so my wife and I are doing some creative scheduling to get through this time of caregiver illness. It really is unsurprising that this woman is sick. Number 1: (ah, my favorite method of emphasis, the numbering of things) she watches a little kid who gets sick and then sicker. Lots of germs around the little one. Number 2: She had her hip replaced in late November, so her immune system is not quite up to snuff. And Number 3: She has Lupus, so her immune system is really and truly never quite up to snuff. I imagine that she will be sick for the rest of the week. Especially when she is describing an illness that seemed to knock my relatively healthy self down for 3 days. She can watch the little man next week; we will smurf something out for this week. We are bright folk, we can figure it out.
So I will be getting out of the office for about 4 hours this afternoon. My PTO schedule is going to Hell in a hand basket. Not quite sure as to why "Going to Hell in a hand basket" is a saying at all. Why would someone carry a "hand basket" to Hell? And what am I doing in said hand basket (other than going to Hell)? How large is the person carrying a hand basket that can fit a 6'2", 215 lbs man. At that point, doesn't every basket become a "hand basket" because the person is a giant? I have so many questions, and no one to answer them, I am in early after all.
