Same. Eating at my desk right now. Could use a nap.
A nap sounds great. I may have to make the trip down the hall to the bedroom and lay down for a bit. Rainy weather makes me lazy.
:millennial: nap room. I like it.

Well, we have those in the office, but I'm at home.

We also have "mother's rooms" for what I assume is nursing/pumping?

Desert is buying a fancy condo there, so I assume he’s been. :lol:
Yeah I may hit him up directly..

I don’t know that I’d want to drive further than Rosarito, but I guess down by Ensenada where he’s getting his condo is where the wineries are, and I’d bring a :tits: so it may be worth it to spend the extra time driving down there for that.
I can walk you through this process so there are no mistakes. Just PM me.

1. Just go here. https://www.hotelcoral.com/. They are offering a ton of deals and we always go here when we go to Ensenada. English speaking staff, nice rooms, great view, centrally located to downtown Ensendada and wine country, they have wine tours. Underground parking for your Jeep. This is the Gringo Zone, and I mean that in all the best ways. Bar does a few insane things like offer Monte Xanic Gran Ricardo (very good wine) at like $1200 Pesos/bottle, which is an insane price. Rooms are a bit dated but beds good, everything you need. From a dining perspective, Ensenada is New Orleans vs. Rosarito being like OKC. Can give you a flawless list of dining options that your chick will be impressed with. At the 19 to 1 Peso to dollar ratio, you can really have nice things for not much.

And the kicker you won't be able to resist.....FULL GYM.....they cater to resident powerboaters at the Marina. Not like Venice Beach but far more extensive than most hotels. Plenty of equipment to get huge with.

The drive to Ensenada is beautiful, the restaurants are amazing, and the Valle de Guadalupe is a fun/romantic place for the woman, you will get the full beej treatment later on.

There is a toll road that makes the extra distance to Ensenada inconsequential.

Their promos during winter are CONSTANT. Just get on the list. Some of the suites are unnecessarily huge. If it goes badly with your date, you don't have to go home. Just tape a line down the room.

Any time. There are a number of pro tips that are better to just know, not learn.

Well, we have those in the office, but I'm at home.

We also have "mother's rooms" for what I assume is nursing/pumping?
we got a pumping/nursing room about a year back. No nap rooms yet.

Y'all hiring? Need a 7 fig salary and a nap room with warm artisan soy milk on tap. :millennial:

I sometimes wish I pursued a tech based career path over a design/construction career. Both tech and design are passions of mine. Not sure where I fit into a big company like yours.

Not really worth it over free Hulu, Disney+, and Amazon Prime I already pay for.

Don’t know if it’s the humidity being gone or what, but last few nights I’ve been waking up cause I can’t breathe through my nose. That spot in the back of your mouth where your nasal canal connects to your mouth/throat is completely dried out. I have to get up and go drink water to fix it.

Anyone here sleep with a humidifier?
