4:00 and the day drags on

I tried to apply for vacation for two hours today so I could go home at 5:00. It was a bit of a drastic measure, I admit, but I am starting to feel a little left out. I mean, everyone is on vacation today, since Monday is a holiday. But wait, Monday isn't a holiday for me. Sigh.

So the response on the vacation request? Denied. That's right, I am stuck.
