July 4 holiday is day after tomorrow, Friday. Majority of the folks in the office are gone – vacationing somewhere up north in their cabins, and one lady I know drove from Wisconsin to Montana/Wyoming to the Yellowstone National Park.
Today is quieter than yesterday. There were about 13 of us in the office yesterday, but today, there are only 7 of us. It’s so quiet I can hear a pin drop. I should enjoy it but I’m getting so bored. The workload has gone down since I started working on the assignments for third quarter reporting a month ago. Everything is done. I’m waiting for two more weeks to run the final reports to complete the rest of the assignments. For now, I’m blog hopping since last week. Plus boss is on vacation from last Friday and the whole of this week. I’m all by myself with the big boss, but big boss never talks to me unless he needs something done – looking up employees’ data in the HRIS system, faxing, scanning or some mailing.
I cannot wait to get outta here right now, another 1 hour 10 minutes to go. The best thing for tomorrow is there is early closing, 2 p.m. for all employees reporting to the corporate site (Connecticut) and that’s me, even though I’m located in MN. So, instead of coming in at 6 a.m. I’m coming in at 8 a.m. and leave at 2 to utilize this nice benefit. I can stay up later tonight, that’s if my eyes allow that, and wake up at 6 and still sneak in a walk with the boys.
Once Thursday comes and goes, I will have 6 days off (Fri-Weds). Doing anything exciting? Probably go window shopping and watch fireworks from our backyard and hear the dogs bark their heads off. I know I will spend a lot of time watching the movies we have recorded on the PVR. They are rotting away, screaming to be deleted from the memory card. I have to make the most of this month since I will be starting school again this fall. 
I might persuade DB to drive to Vermillion River to let the boys do some swimming. Will see what that man says.
