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 work in an office where I don't have to deal customer service or anything, so yes. Obviously if I have something big due tomorrow or time sensitive for the end of the day, I can't just say screw it and go home. But most of the time, if something comes up (waiting on a delivery at home, take dog to the vet, whatever) I can leave no problems.
