Just came across my new favorite OOO auto email: "Did you know that 46% of American workers left vacation time unused last year (including me!)? In an effort to be one of the 54%, I will be out of the office until August 6th." LOVE this. Perfect little stat + encouraging PTO!

When I'm asked to send over Qs ahead of an interview, it's frustrating. But it's 10x more frustrating when a PR asks for that when THEY pitched the story!

Journalists, when a source asks you to send a link when the story is live, what do you say? I try to when I can, but if I'm bombarded with a million other things, it doesn't feel doable to keep track of everyone I need to send a link to
