What to do with my summer as a young professional
Summer is the said to be a time to kick-back, relax and enjoy the sun as well as trips to the beach and exploring our island like a tourist. However, as young professionals, in order for us to enjoy the special times let us talk about two suggestions to make this happen effectively.
Pick up a fun activity / course
Making arrangement for flexible work hours
First things first, try and rearrange your schedule so that you can leave the work place earlier. Even though we operate a nine to five lifestyle, it can be switched up. For example work seven to four or six thirty to three thirty. Thus, by starting your day earlier than usual, or by taking a short lunch, then you can in turn leave the office (and head into the sunshine) even sooner. So, check with your boss to see if this kind of flexibility is offered in your organization.
Additionally, adjust your weekend and take a vacation. Depending on the type of industry or organization that you are employed in there is the possibility of taking a long weekend and taking a vacation, thus this could be facilitated by performing four 10-hour days i.e. Monday through Thursday and then taking Fridays off for that vacation or staycation. This means an entire extra day can be spent out on the beach road country trip, or in your backyard with a good book.
Pick up a course or fun activity
Treat the summer like a lost semester. Fill it with all the things you wanted to try but have never gotten around to carryout. There is always an opportunity to approach and carryout some new and interesting things that you have always wanted to do all year and it finally becomes available to take it at this time. Taking a summer course provides several benefits. A very powerful one is building your personal enrichment which in turn can be used in enhancing your resume by adding that new skill or garnering experience in that new software. As it relates to fun activities depending on your available time, check out your bucket list and choose at least one thing you would like to do for the summer and get to it. For example, learning to swim or it can be something more practical like finally learning to drive.
Remember that summer period is a short and beautiful time. Make sure you, do something to enjoy it.

In the mid-2000s, tragedy struck. Rolex retired our beautiful baby, the Domino's dial, instead placing a steel logo on the first full bracelet link link instead. link It's boring and comparatively clunky compared to the bold logo on the dial that we enjoyed for all those link years.
Does this same thinking exist within the world link of Rolex? Certainly – we see similar thinking and compatriotism around those who own Mark 1 Oyster Paul link Newmans or Patent Pending Sea-Dwellers, for link example. But again, these are at the very heart of what makes Rolex what it is: a maker of steel, waterproof watches that are long-lasting in both lineage and design. They are ur-Rolex watches.
Finally, the most complicated release of the link day, the link new Code 11.59 Selfwinding Flying Tourbillon Chronograph, is focused almost entirely on executing a comprehensive link two-tone design. Featuring a combination of black ceramic and 18-karat pink gold throughout the case and (almost nonexistent) dial, the new hybrid chronograph-tourbillon watch is really, more than anything, a showcase for the powerhouse movement inside.
Beyond the new caliber, Zenith has updated the Chronomaster Open series with a link brand-new case design that measures 39.5mm × 13.1mm, with a lug-to-lug of 45.2mm that should help it wear smaller than even the Chronomaster Original. The overall look and feel of the case is close to the link Chronomaster Sport, with a similar crown, pump pushers, caseband, and lug combination, but without the visual and tactile heft of the link ceramic bezel.
Like all 1970s Cartier watches, most Tank LCs were made in yellow gold, but Cartier also made few examples in white link gold. Less than 10 link percent of the examples I've documented are white gold, and they all have serial numbers that put them in the first half of production. Interestingly, of link those I've seen with complete serials, they all seem clustered in a few tight serial ranges. This is common in vintage watches and suggests the cases may have been produced in batches.
