Would you say you're more productive in the morning or the afternoon? If you said afternoon, you're an outlier. At least according to this . . .
A poll found the average office worker is most productive at 10:22 A.M., and then it's all downhill from there.
We hit our first big slump at 1:27 P.M., and then another one on top of it at 2:06. It also found we tend to feel the most drained on Mondays and Fridays.
The top things that can drain us in a typical workday are too much time in front of a computer . . . getting interrupted by colleagues . . . and not taking breaks.
In general, 38% said they feel more productive working in an office, while 22% feel like they get more done working from home. Everyone else said no big difference either way, apparently.
Noise levels and not being able to control the thermostat were two things we don't like about being in an office. So what's the best part? Two-thirds agreed it's being around coworkers.

So you say you hate Valentine's Day and you have no one to celebrate with? You might want to plan a trip to Chicago between January 27th and February 26th.
Because a company called Bucket Listers is opening up a Taylor Swift-themed break up bar called Bad Blood.
The event's website says, quote, "Whether you want to sing about your lover, those who were never yours, those you're never getting back together with, or those who still have your scarf, this is the perfect place for you."
Admission is $22 a person, but it does include a "welcome-themed cocktail."
FYI, Bad Blood is not an official Taylor Swift event.

Channing Tatum is planning a remake of Patrick Swayze's 1990 hit, "Ghost". His production company, Free Association, owns the rights.
In a profile for "Vanity Fair", he said he'd play Patrick's role. Quote, "But we're going to do something different. I think it needs to change a little bit."
I don't know..Patrick Swayze is now really perfect for the part.
