The first full week back to work in the new year is always an adjustment. Sleep and eating schedules are off, and your max-relax sweats are relegated back to evenings and weekends only. Keep your brain fresh while adjusting back to productivity mode, and take a few sanity breaks. Visit your go-to sites for humor and commentary instead of visiting the snack shack this morning. This week’s list we take a look at the most influential staffers at Jezebel by number of Twitter followers. We compiled this list utilizing Cision’s media database and social media analytics. All numbers were pulled January 6, 2016, and will change over time as the follower counts fluctuate.
