Good:

I finally picked up a pair of headphones this weekend! They are sweet headphones. My life at work will be so much happier.

Better:

I don't actually need the headphones today, as it appears I have the office to myself. There was a mysterious power outage in my building today, and all power and ventilation was off. There was a note on our doors from our manager advising us to just go home.

I took my time getting to work today, so I actually got here just as the power was coming back on. I'm going to stay here and work after all -- I'm hourly, so that's really in my best interests -- but it appears that all my Company_A coworkers, including Mr_X0, are out. Oh happy, happy day.
