For the final #MotivationalMonday post of 2025, here is a reminder that today is not a real Monday.

It's a holiday flavoured placeholder!

As we sign off for the holidays, thank you to everyone who supported us in 2025, especially during the launch of Ctrl Alt Deal. We couldn’t have done it without this community!

Happy holidays!

'Twas the night before the night before Christmas,
and all through the office,
not an employee was slacking,
not even the profits.

All tasks were completed,
all boxes were checked,
Morale was marked “festive,”
as per management’s text.

Subject: Sick Day

Good morning,

I am calling in sick today. I considered 'pushing through' like training recommends, but while I am physically present, my spirit and enthusiasm are not. Posting under these conditions would be irresponsible.

Thank you,

Community Manager
