The Few. The RIFed. The Lucky?

Monday arrived after my few days of recuperating from a massive dizzy spell. I only had a couple more days on the job.

I checked my emails to get caught up and listened to a few voice mails. Nothing was urgent.

I always got in earlier than anyone else on my team – and for that matter anyone else in my department. It was a trade-off I’d made a long while back so that someone from our team was on-site and available to our customers in the early morning hours. I also got to go home a little earlier.

Frankly, I kind of enjoyed the solitude of the early morning in the office. I seemed to get a lot more done during that first couple of hours than I ever did the rest of the day. There just were not any distractions at that time of the morning.
