When July 4th falls on a Wednesday, as it does this year, the work week is usually screwed up. Who's coming, who's going? Who's here, who's not here? It's an unproductive mess.

But, loyal slave that you are, you're still here holding down the fort. How do you know you're on your own? Check out our special workaholic's photo gallery with ten signs you've been abandoned in the office:

So it's July Fourth week, it seems like everyone's on vacation, and yet it is you maintaining order in the office. You may daydream wistfully and jealously about the sailing trips and weekend getaways your co-workers have embarked upon, but your time will come, you think. Until then, you will be the warrior of the cubicle, the only man or woman to keep total anarchy from ensuing in the office -- even when it feels like you are the only man or woman in the office.

What do you think? Here's your chance to name the #1 sign you're alone in the office on our message board.

And I hope you at least get Wednesday off - yes? No? Maybe?. . .
