Labor Day is an awesome opportunity to spend with family. My Grandpa is grilling the turkey, and my brother is grilling the ribs. The rest of us are contributing side items. I am also bringing the dinosaur stickers for my nephews – I take my aunty privilege very seriously.
I think having meaningful work to do does make having a day off more pleasurable. Enjoy these gems below from Louise E. Boone’s book entitles, Quotable Business. Happy Labor Day, y’all!
