@bgswanson My Teams status message at work permanently and politely cites nohello.com by name. It's delightful when colleagues rise to the challenge.

Pet peeve: "Do you have a minute?" on Teams/Slack/etc Just ask your question "Do you have any feedback on X?" or be more specific with your ask: "Do you mind if I come by to discuss X?" Come at me with "Do you have a minute?" & I'm going to fight hard my desire to answer "No"

I learned so much from this virtual forum last year. The Women's Advocacy Center's Suburban Community Forum is happening Thu Sep 29 (9AM - 1PM), and I certainly recommend it for anyone wanting to better understand domestic abuse. Visit womensadvocacycenter.org to learn more.

Hey @MicrosoftTeams , can you tell me why there's no 'get link to chat/thread' permitted for private channels? All I need is a URL that resolves to the target -- its not like you're not going to interrogate user identity when the recipient tries to traverse the link anyway!

@bgswanson @dominos Economists say the workers shortage is complicated, but "make more" might not be required for folks wanting to keep the virus out of their home and avoid the "hardly worth it to begin with" hassles of minimum-wage work. I could believe it.
