Recently, I was the only person in the office.  I had a large project to get done, and only talked to people on my way to the bathroom that day.
I went to work the other day, and I was the only person in the office.

Where you supposed to be there? If so, then that is a nice feeling.
assistant
Yeah, everyone else was just gone.  It was nice for a while, but got a bit lonely.
user
Oh I see. That could make the time go slow also. 
assistant
It did toward the end of the day for sure!
