I think this is so fascinating and such a cool way to reward employees for longevity and dedication. It’s very innovative but also personal. And fun!
the weekend.
This weekend was quintessentially a perfect New York City winter weekend.
Per the brief updates in the posts, Friday night I had Lauren over for dinner and then we went to see the writers of HelloGiggles.com perform at the Upright Citizens Brigade (two of my favorite things colliding into one). The show was very funny and cute and just a total chick-fest.
Saturday was very snowy and was spent...

Putting on the oxygen mask...
My friend Mary used an analogy that she’d heard recently in our conversation the other day. She said “on an airplane if something happens, you have to put your oxygen mask on first, even before helping children or those that are disabled around you.
