BIGG Tip – A Surprising Reason for the Monday Blues?

Is rest and relaxation the recipe for beating the Monday Blues? Actually, researchers found that people who filled their weekends with enjoyable activities felt like their weekend was six hours longer than those who spent their weekend on the couch. Why? Because we measure time with memories. Fill your weekend with things-to-do and you’ll feel more satisfied on Monday. It leads to BIGG success! ! Get more tips from BIGG Success here.

 

Community Tours- We can help with your Professional Recruitment and/or Short- or Long-Term Rental Needs – Vermilion Advantage can help our members with professional recruitment by taking your new employees or employment candidates on a (free) Community Tour. We can also help your current or new employees with rental referrals – we keep a word-of-mouth list of available home and apartment rentals, also including some furnished short-term corporate rentals, that the public may not be aware of through other channels. In addition, we have some lovely extended-stay hotel suite options. And, if you have professional rental properties coming available, make sure Nicole has your property on her list! Questions? Call Nicole at 217-442-6201 or email her at nvanhyfte@vermilionadvantage.com.
