One of the shows that I really enjoyed was Yellowstone... I hope this is just as good...
I don't get it.

Oh come on now, you can't give OGV to just anybody! Have you no sense of tradition? Of decorum?
Fine, okay, give it to him if it makes him happy.

Wednesday is a WFH day for me but I will be taking some time off today. A few things I need to get out applicants but a day with very little external activity. Previous location I worked, the ACM would stop by early afternoon and say go home. This would also happen on Christmas eve.
Yep, because as the person at the front desk I need to be here until closing time, 5:00. But if they come around and let us out early I wouldn't complain. The Mayor already gave us all Christmas Eve off as a freebee this year (thereby cancelling that 12-24 PC meeting I was wondering about.)

It was still on the calendar?
It was, until last week. Everything moved to January.
Looking around for a gym near my office, so I can get the commute of of the way and THEN do a workout.
Why can't gyms put their prices online? I don't want to "call or email for a quote." Just put the monthly rate online and I'll decide then.
I did find one I like about a mile from the office. The very cute girl there told me they will be having a Black Friday special from Friday through Monday, so if I pop in on Monday, let's see what they can do. $35 a month isn't bad, but if they offered me $20 I'd do it.
(We do already have a perfectly good, if small, gym in our HOA clubhouse that we already pay for with our dues, but I don't like going there before work knowing I still have a commute ahead of me.)

If there is one that you might be interested in, go for a tour of it. Look at the locker rooms and shower facilities, check to see if they have the equipment that you want to use, and watch people to see if you can get a feel for how the culture is. Every gym will have a cute girl or two, but not every gym will have a squat rack and a locker big enough to hold a suit.
A buddy of mine from college does exactly what you are talking about. He has a 60-ish minute community into Detroit, goes to the gym after his commute. It give him time to drink his coffee and wake up before he gets into his work out.
