Team ,
I have 5 hours of call this back-to-back this afternoon, so I am going to take them from home. If you need me feel free to call me on the cell or shoot me an email.

Team,
I’m out a little early today as well – catching a flight home to NorCal this afternoon to visit my folks.
Have a great weekend, please feel free to call me on my cell if you need anything.
Many thanks,
Matt.

SOFT. I’ve broken my leg (with my bare hands) and will be putting in a full day at the office after fashioning a splint out of paperclips.
