often in movies or tv shows you'll hear one of the characters say something like "I'm taking off early, I've got a date!" or something to that effect. I once interned at a congressman's office and although the office was technically open till 530, almost everyone was gone by 5 everyday.
Would you be comfortable or feel safe doing something like that at your job?

I suppose it depends on the environment. If your boss is ok with you leaving early so long as you put in extra hours later (or some other arrangement) then I guess.
