There’s a new strategy (or maybe an old strategy with a new name) to make back-to-work mandates more tolerable, known as “coffee badging” – basically, showing up to the office to be seen and then leaving. In a recent June LinkedIn news poll of 1,568 people, 19% of LinkedIn users said they were still “coffee badging” into work.

Hot Dr Pepper seems to be popular again! You just heat Dr Pepper, add a slice of lemon and serve.
It's nothing new, it was first promoted in the 60s to bump sales in the winter.
Some versions even suggested spiking it with rum and calling it a “Boomer.”
Dr. Pepper was also mixes with eggnog this holiday season called Pepp Nog.

Before you throw your tree to the curb..be eco friendly and you could cut it up for firewood, shred it for mulch, build a bird sanctuary with the branches — or you could harvest the needles and transform them into shortbread cookies.
There's even a book by Julia Georgallis, “How to Eat Your Christmas Tree.”
One popular use for pine needles, especially in Asia, is transforming them into tea.
Pine needle tea is rich in antioxidants, vitamin A and vitamin C, which can boost immunity and soothe colds.
I tried doing this today, but it wasn't very good..very plasticy...I forgot i have an artificial tree. (Haha)

Today's Useless Fact of the Day - There were only 15 runners in the first Boston Marathon in 1897, and only 10 of them finished. The guy who won ran it in two hours and 55 minutes . . . which is about 50 minutes slower than the guy who won it last year.
