I decided to work half a day on Friday, as I’d been coming in to work early and leaving late. It’s always nice to have a few weekday hours free to run errands, so that’s just what I did.

If you know me, there’s a good chance that you know I am a huge fan of the Big Lebowski. And if you’ve ever met me, there’s an even better chance that I’ve rattled off a line from the movie without you knowing.
