It's currently 12:04 PM here as I begin this post in an emptier-than-usual TIME office. Most everyone left over at their desks are keeping their eyes on the clock, awaiting the 2 PM mass exodus that usually comes with pre-Memorial Day Fridays.
And for good reason: This weekend, grills will ignite, beers will be cracked, and soon it'll be Sunday morning, when lots of people will wake up experiencing that split second of dread thinking that there'll be work tomorrow, followed by one of the best feelings in the world when you realize that you'll be able to sleep in after all.
