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?

Only on Fridays. Drinks are served in the conference rooms at 4:00, if you don't go have a drink, you can go home. Any other day, you do have to get permission, which isn't a big deal if you don't do it often.
