Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Because you said work-related, I'm going to say sleep-aid or antidepressant? I don't really know what my answer would be if I didn't know what industry you worked in.

I was thinking of taking a tai chi class, and a search for it turned up something called Luohan Qigong. I haven't heard of it before, but the youtube videos that came up when I googled it seem similar to tai chi. Has anyone tried it?
I think my hair is possessed. By a demon of greyness.
I've been finding a few white hairs among the brown. Meh. It would be nice if it would just change over completely, so I could start dying bits of it cobalt blue or bright green without bleaching the lot first.

If an ad you saw had a polar bear prominently going into an ice cave with "hibernate" on the label, what would you immediate thought be?
Deep sleep? Your drug causes EXTREME SOMNOLENCE?
Or it makes the Windows Hibernate function actually work properly?

To be honest, I would expect some Coke to be involved.

If this was an ad in the work break room I'd think they were pushing some sort of "get your rest" wellness program. If it was an ad in the wider world I'd think someone was hawking comforters or fluffy blankets.

First reaction: Do polar bear hibernate?
This was my first reaction as well. That, and "maybe global warming's not so bad after all..." Given your industry, I guess sleep meds.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
My first thought was also that they don't hibernate. Second, it's cold and I don't associate cold with relaxation.
