๐Ÿ‡ฌ๐Ÿ‡ง Reminder to our British colleagues: Your US colleagues have a holiday next week, I think it's because Will Smith defeated alien invaders in Independence Day. Wait, that's not quite right...๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ๐Ÿ—ฝ

Also, look at how well the last attempt by the British to disarm us went for them. And, we wouldn't be exactly the same, we'd be driving on the wrong side of the road!

The president in Independence Day p4, watch the movie

I did but it's been a while...

Right before the final battle, the part where he talks about not going silently into the night without a fight

Hello, ahem, hello

I didn't realize Canada was a small island, perhaps education standards would be better also

Well think about it 90 % of Canadians live within 20 kilometers of the US border and one of your provinces had been trying to secede since I can remember ( go Habs). But to your credit you have safest nuclear power plants in the world and least expensive electricity in the world ( Hydro Quebec) apologies for assuming that since an ocean separated Canada from England we could think of you as an independent country....

How do you deal with burnout? Iโ€™m just not feeling it anymore. I keep thinking time off will help but Iโ€™m not so sure because itโ€™s winter and not as nice outside up north. Iโ€™ve been working for 16+ years with the longest break between jobs at 7 weeks. Never take more than a week off at a time. Any tips? Should I say anything to the partners I assist? Should I say anything to my supervisor?

Is it unethical as realtors working in an office to block chunks of time off for personal reasons?

Do you do this as well or do you prefer to work straight through your day?

Leaving for a week and a half vacation and just did 33 hours in two days in order to prep my VPs for deal work without me and get ahead on work I know would be asked this week.
