As you travel along Montauk Highway in Great River, you will find Bayard Cutting Arboretum, a 200-acre “oasis of beauty and quiet.” Whether you are a plant or wildlife lover, or just out to enjoy a walk along the shores of the Connetquot River, you are sure to find something wonderful here.
Search for hidden treasure right here on Long Island! I’m not
talking about the Gold Coast, but rather the outdoor murals of Hans
Gabali. For over 45 years, Hans transformed the brick or stucco sides
of buildings into oceans, fishing shanties, deserts and swimming pools.
Climbing ladders and painting from scaffolds, he painted more than
4,500 murals in private homes and on business walls all over Long
Island.
As parents of two teenagers, my husband and I are often amazed (and sometimes even enlightened) by their views of the world. They seem to have an opinion on everything, and while we are happy that we raised two individuals who are confident enough to express themselves, there are days that we wish they’d hold their tongues. This became the springboard for what I have dubbed “The Mommy Strike.”
What is "A Folder Called Nathan" you ask? Historically, when you left your office unattended at A&W, you were
always at risk of the guys in the Art Department pranking you. Well,
Nathan has been "lucky enough" to travel pretty often during his time as
a member of the A&W Art Dept. I say "lucky enough" because it is
great to travel and experience the world, but debatable just how
enjoyable it must be to wonder, "What the heck are the guys doing to my
office right now?" (Knowing that the guys ARE most likely doing
something to your office at that very moment - depending on the time
zone).
We have pranked Nathan so often that it has become expected of us to do
so in his absence. I would even bet that if we, for whatever reason,
miss the chance to prank him while he's away (perhaps due to a shorter
trip during a busier time here at the agency) that he is slightly and
oddly disappointed. In fact, there have been so many pranks pulled on
Nathan that we began documenting them with photos and storing them in "A
Folder Called Nathan." Here are just a few of the "prank documentaries"
that we have on file.

There are some obvious signs of job burnout -behaviors that are as subtle as a train wreck and then there are many that don't make themselves obvious at all. So how do you know when it's time to cry uncle? This article by Tai Goodwin (as featured on CAREEREALISM.com) helps identify some of those warning signs and even a few ways to fix the problem. So take a little time to help make you more productive at work, and maybe even enjoy those 40 hours a week.
