Two jobs and several years ago...

Start of summer; hot hot sun, monsoon season brings the good stuff. Wind was cranking hard as a typhoon went past the coast.

Got to work to discover classes had been canceled from about 10 onwards. I sat around for a while then thought the hell with it, and slipped out.

Hit the lake for a ripping 30-knot session for a couple of hours, then drove back to work for the last hour before clock-off at 4pm.

Nobody noticed that I'd been gone.

That didn't amaze me so much as nobody noticing that during my afternoon "in the staff room", my complexion went from pasty winter white to traffic-stopping day-glo red... I forgot the sunblock.
