We know times are tough, but take this wave as an opportunity to sit back, take a deep breath, and give yourself a little re-set. Amidst the current job market and layoffs galore, surround yourself with the people who will be with you through it all. The ups, the downs, the curves, and the byway detours. Heck, take a detour to the scenic road if you can.

Here’s how to spend your time this weekend, the next few days, or however long you think you need to hit the ‘refresh’ button. We think there’s something for everybody.
