TG -- but not yet!

Write a five-minute scene.  Set up: an office worker desperately trying to leave the office early on the day before Thanksgiving.  An email goes around from the big boss telling everyone they can leave early.  But our hero's manager has asked him/her to get one thing done urgently before they leave.  As everyone else piles out of the office, what's going on in the life of our hero?  Does he/she get it done; stay late; does bedlam ensue, maybe nothing seems to be going right; or does he/she bag it in dramatic fashion?  Have fun.  Maybe try a little farcical scene...

As always let me know what you think of the exercise.
