I’m looking forward to next week. Mostly because I’m taking half of it off! Anyone else like to take a vacation during the quiet part of the year?

That sounds amazing honestly. I am super jealous! Enjoy your time.

Congrats on your vacation! I'm trying to save my time off until later in the year because my favorite part of any holiday is looking forward to it. Are you going somewhere or is it just a staycation?

I’ve got “unlimited” which means I should take it during slow times lol

Have an amazing time! I don't have anything booked off until March, when I'm heading to Europe for 2 weeks. I CAN'T WAIT. I have been wanting to do this trip for a couple of years.

Have an interesting scenario. Holiday party season is approaching. At one of our parties (during working hours) there is an optional “talent show.” Employees can win door prizes. We have an entry that is a religious song - like one you would sing in church. I assume we need to let this employee perform this - or we are setting ourselves up for trouble. Likewise, if we permit this song, I assume we cannot compel attendance to the talent show. The talent show is part of a lunch thing.

What holiday party did you get?
Anyone living close to an office, got a holiday party with food and drinks, and the venue started open for them until around midnight. Our remote workers got a one hour party w a DJ and trivia that let you win gift cards. Yeah it was nice to win a gift card but I found it lame in comparison to hanging out with my team in real life.
