Happy Labor Day! To celebrate, I’ve spent the weekend eating my weight’s worth in food, watching Seinfeld and visiting my loved ones. What’s most important is that I’ve done nothing resembling work or productivity in at least 48 hours.
And I’m not going to start now, that’s for sure. So I’m keeping this newsletter short and sweet. Have a great day off, Heels. And if you’re working today, I hope it goes over smoothly. Try to eat something exceedingly American for dinner, like chocolate cake or a tub of mac & cheese.
