duo!  Well it all ended up okay and folks moved on. I'm ready to go to work and drop off my frozen samosas and then fiddle around and maybe clean my area. I had a mouse running around my desk several days ago.    I told my boss I  wasn't coming in just to give me the option of coming in and maybe cleaning up my space I didn't schedule anybody and I'm not on the board and it's a free day.

Well I finished cleaning to the paper from my work area. I got little bit of work done and I left work at
