One last day for the Thanksgiving holiday. Any special plans? I'm headed outside to enjoy the snow.

I'm just taking it easy. I've got some turkey in the fridge and a loaf of deli rye, and I'm looking forward to having a spectacular turkey sandwich for supper later. This afternoon I wanted to catch up on some reading, but I think I'll probably just hang out and watch football. Not a bad way to spend an afternoon, really.

You have snow? Lucky! We have been having the grayest weather but no snow to enjoy with it. I hate winter without snow. I'm honestly just spending today on the couch, trying to relax but feeling stressed about going back to work tomorrow. Wish we could just have the next month off, don't you?

I spend a lot of time indoors when it's just cold and gloomy. The snow somehow makes me get outside more. Now that I'm thinking about it, probably to shovel and plow. lol.

Not ready for snow!

Driving home…

Where do you live that you had snow OP? I am already counting down until Christmas break and then the little break over New Years. It is so hard to be productive during the week because there is always so much going on in the office during the holidays.

I have an offer for a company abroad.

They then proposed starting out remotely “as soon as possible” in the US as a contractor and then moving abroad to start full time abroad. (Cont)

Hi everyone,
I was hoping someone could give me some advice. I’ve been taking care of my extremely sick (literally on the verge of dying) dog. I work from home so it’s not too much of a nuisance but I feel distracted all day long and can hardly get anything done because I worry about my dog. I feel like I’d benefit from a day off or even half a day off but I’ve only been working for my firm for a month now, plus I have “discretionary time off.” Would it be okay for me to ask for a day off?

Highly confused.
