Ghost Town

Microsoft is a ghost town right now.

No, really: everyone's either on vacation or working remotely. Frankly, it feels like I'm in greater danger of running in to a tumbleweed blowing through the halls than into another human being. The cafeteria closes at 2 PM. Heck, even the receptionists aren't in this week.

The good news is that the holidays are an excellent time to get caught up on work. Without constant meetings and interruptions, it's far easier to get good thinking done. I've had these glorious, wonderful uninterrupted blocks of time to work on some of my projects these last few days.

I'm working remotely tomorrow (no meetings, right?), which means this is my last in-office day of the year.

(Is 2005 over already?)
