Description: Panel 1: A man sits inside a house at a table or desk, looking at his laptop screen while participating in a video conference call with 9 or more participants. There is a window in the background with the sun in the sky. The man holds up his hand and tells the other participants on the call, "Excuse me everyone, sorry to interrupt . . ." Panel 2: The man looks away from the laptop screen towards the open window and the sky outside. He tells the video conference participants "I have the sunshine on the other line." Panel 3: The man leaves his seat, apparently abruptly, as the chair is knocked over, while the screen is still on and shows the video call participants. The man walks towards an open door, where a backpack sits at the doorway. He looks outside as he says over his shoulder "I have to take this call." Panel 4: The man is wordlessly walking over a hill, with grasses and bushes in the foreground and trees in the background, wearing the backpack, following the sun and not looking back.

I've done about exactly this. Probably bail later this afternoon.
"Sorry team, gotta split early. Something personal came up I have to deal with."
Ive wanted to do this so badly often.
If you work remote, just don't. That's what I don't. Works great.
Can you beat daily ?
nope. weathers not that good where I am at.
I'm incredibly grateful that I can honestly tell my team "hey, it's beautiful out. I'm going to walk the dog and make up time later." I still get sad that I have to spend most of a beautiful day stuck at a desk, but I feel relatively lucky to have the time I do.
Oh it's a done deal
