The Switch was an iterative improvement on the Wii U and while I wish they called it Nintendo Snap (how I heard the new sound effect) instead of drab numbering, I’d argue there are similar iterative innovations here–some likely to compete with the Steam Deck–without losing what’s working so far

Sounds like you’re salaried. Generally those jobs care about getting your work done more than watching a clock or waiting for phones to ring

If you have a decent boss, explaining what happened and asking if you can just take off a different day this coming week would probably be fine, even if Tuesday isn’t feasible on such short notice. Personally, I’d be gunning for Friday (assuming you have the normal weekend days off)

If that conversation is considered a problem, then it’s time to see if the company’s competitors are hiring for your position
