Case of the Mondays #7

I've spent the weekend in Sydney saying goodbye to a dear friend who leaves the country very soon.  Today I'm in Canberra, where I'm spending some time with Himself and planning to meet up with various people to discuss our upcoming issue of Green Magazine.  Case of the Mondays? Nowhere in sight.  

You know why?  Because life happened... my friend is leaving Sydney, I wanted to see her, and I could.  I could get in the car on Friday with my partner, drive up to Sydney, then over to Canberra on Sunday afternoon.  If I (or Himself) worked in an office with more draconian views, that would be impossible.  I probably wouldn't have been able to afford the plane ticket, so I would have had to skip seeing her before she goes home, probably for good, to her home country. Or I would have had to rush back for work Monday.  Surely that would lead to a case of the Mondays.  

Himself was able to, literally, work on his computer as we drove.  Mobile internet+mobile phone = mobile office.  I sat in the drivers seat and we kept going down the highway while he emailed workmates and journos, sent national press releases and spoke to his boss, a Senator, while she flew from Canberra to Sydney to Canberra to Perth throughout the day.  How freaking cool is that?  I have to say it beats being forced to sit at a desk all day.  He was able to do his job, I'm able to do my job up here for the week, and all it took was a little flexibility.
