Does this lovable yoke look familiar? He’s set for another night with us in the station in Malahide, Co. Dublin and as much as we are enjoying having a new pal, we’d like to find his owner. He is not chipped but maybe he looks like a neighbour or friends dog? #HereToHelp

Do you want to be a dramatically better manager and teammate? Kick the habit of empty praise. When you catch yourself feeling grateful to someone or impressed by their work, do the work to figure out why it had such an impact on you. Share *those* details, not "you're so great!"
Replying to @mipsytipsy
Praise that actually describes some part of the work that was done, instead of some bizarre manager level perception is another skill, sadly lacking in most managers I've run into.

Want to hear good news about the pandemic? Pfizer’s new Covid treatment drug required them to halt the clinical trials… …Because it was proven so effective that it was unethical to withhold it from the placebo group.

European civilization is built on ham and cheese, which allowed protein to be stored throughout the icy winters. Without this, urban societies in most of central Europe would simply not have been possible. This is also why we have hardback books. Here's why. 1/
