Have an office crush? Take this time to figure out where they sit, what they keep on their desk, even leave them mystery sticky-notes of love if you’re feeling supremely unhinged. At dinner last night, an editor friend of mine told me she sent out her regular nightly email to 40 people and got back 20 out-of-office replies. “Why are we even working this week?” she asked. Indeed, we've come into our offices as if it were any other time of the year, sat at our desks, and reveled in the pin-drop silence. We've made a lot of “slow news week” jokes, we've taken hour-long coffee breaks, but underneath the dismal, grim task of being the few, the proud who hung around before New Year's, there is the potential for something actually tolerable, possibly even fun to happen. We just have to live a little.
