Best Marriott hotels in downtown Seattle for a weekend trip?

Planning a trip to Rome and Naples with day trips to Tivoli and Pompeii. Is 1 week enough? I feel like reading through 3/4 day Rome and 2 day Naples itineraries, the trip seems rushed. I have unlimited PTO but my SO is limited in time (but luckily he can work extra hrs and then use less PTO). I would say max we could do is 1.5 weeks but adding on 3-5 more days seems almost too much? Thoughts? For reference, I did Venice-Florence-Rome in a week and it seemed okay but it also wasn’t as planned out

Anyone have good book recommendations that I can learn from and are entertaining? Trying to survive a 10 hour flight this weekend 🆘🆘🆘

Digital killed the advertising business.
Agree or Disagree?

I’m struggling. I left an agency I liked last year due to growth limitations and since then I’ve worked at 2 different agencies and can’t seem to find my footing. The first one seemed like a good fit at first but then it turned out to not be the best place for me so I left. At my current agency I feel super undervalued. I’m always raising my hand and offering to help where I can and no matter what I do, I don’t feel utilized or valued or part of the team.It’s really taken a toll on my confidence

As a chicken Alfredo pasta, I only ever get hit on by noodles, heavy cream, butter, parmesan cheese, and Italian seasonings. I'm offended I don't get hit on by potatoes. They must be anti-alfredoists.
