December has arrived and the end of the year is upon us. *Where did the last 11 months go!?*
Like most people, you’re likely planning holiday parties, baking, shopping, and, *oh yeah*, working.
This time of year it can be especially challenging to get everything checked off your 'to do' list. And, if you’re managing leaves of absence, your day-to-day work ‘to do’ list is probably growing longer and longer by the minute.
