It’s cool when you’re running late at home, so you won’t get to work until 9 instead of getting in early (at 8). You walk up to the building bummed out, because if you get in at 9, you won’t be able to leave until 6 (not that most people would care or even notice, but your direct coworkers will).

Then you get inside and find out that both the people who would notice have appointments, so they aren’t in yet, so no one knows you weren’t there early.

That’s cool. (Yeah, I’m a bad employee, sue me — there’s nothing going on at work right now.)
