IME, leaving early is less likely to be noticed than arriving late. But I don't think I've ever worked in a work place where either would have been tolerated. When I worked for CIS (federal government) our director used to stand by the sign in sheet and watch us come in. If we were more than 7 minutes late, we were docked a .25 hours in pay. Are you surprised I left?
I know I'm a bad poet, but I'm a good man. All I ask is that... is that you try to see me—

That is one of the things I love about my job. I can flex my hours as long as I get my work done. I normally come in early/leave early.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I don't care how late anyone leaves--you show up for meetings you schedule. Hell, you show up on time for meetings you accept, which he hasn't quite accomplished either.

Good thing just happened--called my boss to see if I could take the full day off tomorrow to sleep in and run errands, and even though she was planning on taking day off herself, she did approve my PTO if I got my coworker to cover the morning email of documents. She said she could cover it, so I'm am off tomorrow! Between that and the half-day on Thursday afternoon for my doctor's consult, I'm down to 5 1/2 days left for the year. Don't know when I'll take them; most likely as half-days here and there.

Man, it got to be noon when I wasn't even looking. I ordered sushi and it's taking FOREVER to get here. Hungry - want food NOW.
My slice of choco cake was delicious. I did not put a candle in it.
(Ooh, my whining worked: lunch is here!)

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
I waver between "unfriend" and "defriend." I think you unfriend on Facebook and defriend on LJ.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
Which is different than “umfriend”.
