Holidays and vacation time are so skewed with COVID - people don't want to go away from home. 

Now i know what I am doing for dinner! 

818 hot dogs are eaten every second from Memorial Day to Labor Day.

Happy Labor Day Nina Hollander, Broker! I haven't taken a vacation in two years, so ready for one. Some companies will pay their employees their vacation time if not used, that probably is a big factor why so many don't use their vacation time.

Brian England hi Brian... one thing I've learned is that in this country if you decide you want to achieve something you probably can with enough dedication and hard work.

Ron and Alexandra Seigel hi Alexandra... I get what you're saying... I haven't had a real break for two years since my last trip to Russia in October 2019. I haven't even managed to take small bits of time off this past year I've been so busy with work and health issues.

Michael Jacobs hi Michael.. I have to think that overall hot dog consumption has declined... I hardly know anyone who eats them with regularity. Then again, who knows! Something for you to ponder on, maybe! :)

Joan Cox hi Joan... I don't get it, myself. Everyone I speak with who has a business is short-handed... how is it possible not to be able to find work.

I saw a special on Teddy Roosevelt on TV not that long ago Jeffrey DiMuria 321.223.6253 Waves Realty  and developed a huge level of respect for him after I learned so much about him and his accomplishments that I'd never previously known.

Lise Howe hi Lise... hope you enjoy your hot dog dinner tonight! :) I, for one, haven't had a vacation in two years... first because of COVID, second because I've been so busy with work, and third again because of COVID as I just don't want to do long trips with a mask.

Beth Atalay hi Beth... you and I are in the same boat... it's been two years since I took a break, myself. As for being paid not to take vacation time, not something I enjoyed in the corporate world being a salaried senior executive. I got paid the same whether I took my vacation or not... I always took my vacation.

Hope you had a nice holiday, Nina.

What a fun post with all sorts of interesting tidbits!

Our day was quiet - good food but we stayed at home and none of the family came to visit!
