Did
Share my subway seat with a man reading a book on how to be a stockbroker
Spend a record two hours in a staff meeting
Receive lavish praise for mediocre work
Coast
Buy opera tickets
Listen to the faraway squeaks and giggles of bathtime
Surprise people with good presents
Make chocolate-pumpkin muffins for coworker's last day

Didn't
Feel sad
Make any powerpoint slides
Share the mediocre presentation with co-workers
Get in to see chiropractor's replacement
Get to go to the gym
Give up on anything
Work on my novel
Get a dog
