So ... this being a family friendly site, this is intended to be SFW.
In my industry, things are typically slow from Thanksgiving through New Years. As such, I take a lot of time off in that window, as the rest of the year can be awful. As an example, I’m now home for the first time in 5 weeks and will be home, mostly, except for a night or two, until early January when the cycle resets.
It being cooler weather and with the holidays in the offing, I like to unwind a bit. And my favored method is video games. I pick one or two each year for PS4, put the game on the hardest setting, and stay up extra late sipping rye for several weeks while gaming. Once I beat the game on that setting, I turn the console off for 11 months and get back to work.
Juvenile? Probably. Wasteful? Undoubtedly. Indefensible? Arguably. But I love it.
This is my favorite time of year for a host of reasons and I wish you and yours the very best. Currently, Call of Duty, WWII is loading and the yeti tumbler is full of Bulleitt Rye. Wife and kids are asleep and the dogs are snoring at my feet. Life is good.
Just out of curiosity, does anyone else relish an annual opportunity to squander away downtime? I do believe it’s good for the soul -
