Happy Friday Everyone! You had better be playing by now.

Its 4:38 and I really shouldn’t be writing a blog 20 minutes before air time, but I really shouldn’t be working right now.

I started early this morning filling in for Governor Pawlenty on his morning radio show. I don’t get paid when I do that gig, so the Governor lends me his proclamation powers instead.

I made a few this morning, but the one that likely effects most of you is the one I’m having no problem getting people on board with. It is that today is half-day-work-day Friday. If you are able to slip out early of your job, you were supposed to do so at 1 this afternoon. I’ve already received some e-mails from listeners who took the proclamation to heart and tell me I have to explain it to their boss should he/she notice.

The second part of the proclamation was: if you have a boss who notices when you slip out early on Fridays, that you have my permission to wind it down after the 1 O’clock hour. That means, play on the computer, make personal phone calls, go on long coffee break excursions. You get the idea.

I won’t say how much I’ve followed my proclamation because my boss has to approve these blogs before they’re posted.

But let’s just say I’m well-caffeinated, caught up on some correspondences, and well, I’m having to dig deep to find the energy to do the 5 p.m. news.

Have a great weekend. I hope it started early for you!
