The office always feels so quiet during the holidays with so many people out on vacation. How do you stay motivated and keep your momentum during this time of year?

I'm personally not all that concerned about staying productive, lol. I know that sounds bad but I like the lazy, snowy holidays where I don't have to do much work.

Lol I get that , it’s kind of hard to stay motivated when there’s not really much going on because of the holidays .

I actually love that there’s no one in the office. I save my PTO and can really be focused

Me as well. I feel more peaceful at work 😀

I go slower, too, at the end of the year. Nice to enjoy getting through odds and ends I normally do not have the time for.

I don’t

I just kind of phone it in and punch the clock

Currently going to school for my cannabis certification but I rarely see any jobs that offer cannabis research. I currently work in a lab/greenhouse environment and would love to continue that line of work with hemp/cannabis. Yet again no luck whatsoever, just finding jobs as budtenders or running a dispensary. Does anyone know where I can find research-based cannabis jobs? I have a degree in horticulture with lab experience.

I'll tell you what it is: referencing!

You have to do so much of it, and it's so annoying. You have to cite your sources, but there are so many different formats for citations! And then sometimes you don't even know how to cite something, and how are you supposed to know that unless you ask someone who knows? And even then, they might not be sure whether it should be an in-text citation or a footnote…
