Is this pandemic over with yet? Nope! Not to beat a dead horse, but what is everyone doing with all this time off?

The point here is clear: Those who need time off cannot have it, and those who have time off do not want it. This is where hope, attitude, and contentment come into play. It is time for a laugh.
