The winter is coming. This may have been a hard one to figure out this year since the temps haven't quite pissed you off as much as last year. However, it may have became bit more noticeable when every single one of your coworkers took a sick day over the past week. So, now it's your turn. Go ahead, hop on that "sick" bandwagon, and treat yourself to a staycation (before anyone actually gets you sick). As Farris Bueller taught us, mental health is just as important as physical health. So CBS Local Eat. See. Play. put together a list of products that even you weirdos who are like "well I want to go to work because I like to feel productive", will enjoy.
