Actual Email from a boss

Management structures are retarded.  Especially when they're not clearly defined.  This is the case in my office where, of course, since it is a government office, there's no rhyme nor reason to anything.  So, at 2pm on a Friday, I get this email from one of my 47* bosses...
 
Staff,

I wanted to make everyone aware that I am leaving at 3:00 today and [other boss] will be in a meeting this afternoon from 2:30-4:30 with [Director of Operaions].  [Yet another boss] will still be here if you need help and if it is something that needs management attention, you can call or text [other boss from above] @ ###-####. Please remember that just because we are not in the office, you are still expected to conduct yourselves in a professional manner. Everyone is expected to work until their scheduled time to leave. Thanks for the great work that you all do and have a great weekend! Go Bucks! J

 
I'd FJM this, but that would qualify as not conducting myself in a professional manner.  What a crock.  I'm totally leaving early.**
 
* I don't really have 47 bosses.  It is closer to 52.
** I'm also a pussy, so I'll probably end up staying here until 5.
