It's Thursday, the sun's out, it's probably the only sensible thing to do. Tell your boss 'Steve said it'd be fine'* grab a glass of something cold & head out there!
*NB 'fine' can be a somewhat moveable feast

cat trumpet
The man in the Apple Store asked me what I was drawing.
I explained it was Tuesday morning so naturally I was drawing a cat playing a trumpet.
That seemed to satisfy everyone. : )

Wet night in Soho last night reminded me of the line 'The boys just dive right off the cars
And splash into the street' from Time by Tom Waits (very little relevance apart from that but it's always good to have context)
