Gosh, I wish they'd do that on a regular basis then! I'd
be in heaven, walking around a sparsely-populated mall on
an early Saturday afternoon, without fear of bumping into
somebody or stepping on the backs of their shoes. And, of
course, the wonderful music. That's why I sometimes like
working on weekends. I crank up the classical music station
on the company stereo, or bring along a few of my favorite
CD's. It feels like I'm being paid to relax.
