Should I leave work early?

I was going to bunk off work at 3pm today, and should normally leave at 4:30pm, but my (old) boss has just come in and asked me if I could do some work for him. What should I do?

Answer:
All work and no play makes Jack, I mean, JuliaMC a dull boy. Or girl. Whatever. It's August Bank Holiday. Go get drunk or something.
leave.
say no, go out
leave
LEAVE
bunk off at 3!!
I FINISHED 30 MINUTES AGO
IT'S A BANK HOLIDAY WEEK-END
FOR GAWDS SAKE
Get out of there!!
It's friday, get it done, go home early!
tell him is friday and you have to get yourself nice for tonight as you get laid .
Go. Go now and tell your boss to stick it. Good luck
Explain that you have something planned and leave. I've learned the hard way that you need to set your boundaries with your employer.
TGIF - leave! :)
Punch him in the lip and leave
Get the heck out of there, it's Friday!
stay there and get the work done, that's why they keep you around.
Yes, it's friday.
Tell him you have "plans". Those plans can include going home and watching T.V. He doesn't need to know the details of those "plans". If it was important enough, he probably could have given you proper notification a few days ago that he needed you to work late today.
WELL........
c'mon. go see a movie. dont think twice about it.
Tell your boss if the work is so important, then maybe he should stay and finish it. As far as you..bee-line it.
It's Friday! Knock off early!!
Get a new job mate you dont sound 2 happy in that job
You need to think quick and tell him you are so sorry, you already made plans that can not be broken..You don't owe him any more then that..It's not his business.
stay, maybe he might give you some money for that work!
WORK and finish what your Boss wants you to do then LEAVE.
If you previously arranged an early leave time, and have documentation to show it, simply explain this to your old boss, and leave at 3. If you were just taking an unscheduled early leave to screw off, then you should work (at least I would - I would not even take an unscheduled early leave, my presence is electronically monitored)
It's Friday.it's tradition to leave early. I'm going to, and as early as I can get away with.
If you work longer you'll get more Money
leave
How well did you like this boss? Was he good to you? If he's not your boss currently, why is he asking you to do work for him, anyway?

I would find out exactly what he wants doing before I commit to the work. Maybe it will only take a short while to complete and you can still leave early.
