Dismantle My Bed

A day off is a day of writing.

Not yours. Your cubicle neighbor or office mate’s.

Now, I don’t know where you work, or what the floor plan looks like. There are some offices that are totally open, no cubicle walls, just desks and a communal suffering. If you work in one of these places, it sucks to be you.

For many of us though, there is some measure of privacy. We simply share an office or have a cubicle, where only one or two people can see what we are doing. If you work in this situation, there may be no better day than the day that your office mate/cubicle neighbor takes off. They leave you in complete privacy, you can write all day long, and the best part? You get paid for it!

Sadly, days off are severely limited, at least in the United States, so you won’t get too many of these free days, but when you do, use them well.
