99 times out of 100 this has been the famed imaging balloon but of course last night was the National Christmas Tree lighting with the President and VP in attendance.

For many remote workers, a messy home is distracting.
You’re getting pulled into meetings, and your unread emails keep ticking up. But you can’t focus because pet hair tumbleweeds keep floating across the floor, your desk has a fine layer of dust and you keep your video off in meetings so no one sees the chaos behind you.
