Is it OK to be catching up on work on a Sunday?

I find myself undecided yet strangely happy doing so, especially as writing for a living, a quick Sunday session of pre-week work is a zen-like release of pent up creativity

Termination notices going out this afternoon to more than 300 employees of the National Cancer Institute. Access likely ends today. Four weeks paid leave and that’s it.

Strong power move for Team Cancer.
