I had to take the afternoon off of work today to go to court about a speeding ticket I got about a month ago. Unfortunately, it wasn't one of those, "plead guilty, mail your fine to the circuit clerk." No, it was a "take an afternoon off of work, sit in a jam-packed courtroom and wait for your name to be called to face humiliation." Luckily for me, it only took about an hour for them to call my name, me to ask for court supervision, get my fine and take care of paying the courts.
I knew today was going to be busy at work with month-end close on Friday and export invoices needing to go out so I decided even though I was taking a half day I'd bring my laptop home, see if I could get it to connect to my new wi-fi and spend the rest of my afternoon taking care of anything that came up once we received info we needed in order to invoice our customers. Sure enough at 4:15 the info required for our billing came through. I sent MW a quick message telling him I was online and I'd get it squared away before 5 pm. He was surprised but thanked me for staying on top of everything given I had the afternoon off. A few minutes before 5, I received a response from our customer, they received our invoice and have the multi-million dollar payment set for next week.
This just may have been the most productive work afternoon I've ever had while being home.
Oh and I vacuumed and cleaned my bathroom on top of it.
