the "Get off work soon!" mantra

I'm getting very good at this mantra. Ranger Man is working approximately 18 hours per day, 7 days per week during his current TDY. I can't talk to him until he's done with work, but I have news for him! It's a state holiday here on the Island, so I'm not working today which means the hours are creeping by ever so slowly! So I'm saying the "get off work soon" mantra. It's sort of like "are we there yet" but slightly different and involving a lot more staring at my cell phone and willing it to ring (I swear, sometimes that works!).
