This year is odd for so many reasons, but mostly because Christmas & New Year's day is right smack in the middle of the week. How are you approaching your overemployment for the next 2 weeks? Are you taking vacation from J1 this week and then vacation from J2 next week? Not taking vacation?

🎄Merry Christmas!
🕎Happy Hanukkah!
💪 Festivus for the rest of us!

Took a vacation from J1 and J2 the same week, with multiple jobs I don’t get many days off. It’s healthy to disconnect! Happy holidays.

Disconnecting for a bit is healthy and should happen a few times per year!

Big fan of this one. Not super bold. More velvety. Subtle leathery taste, hints of vanilla! I picked up a half case for 120, or $20 a bottle! I may actually buy more. 8/10 for price and taste. Very elegant.
