It's official Cookie Day today! 

Fun fact: A study showed that people who bring cookies into work are not only well-liked, they get more gossip from their teammates! 

Anyhow, my simple fun at work tip today is to not underestimate the power of cookies to add a little fun to any situation. An old workmate and friend, Larry (hi Larry if you're tuning in today!) had a motto, "I only attend meetings if the 'two Fs' are included: Food and fun!" 

And don't forget to include your customers! One salesperson I know sends clients customized cookies along with referral cards for his services with a note saying, "Please share these cookies and these cards to anyone who you think could benefit from my services, or who needs a cookie!"  

"Humor is like a rubber sword—it allows you to make a point without drawing blood." Mary Hirsh

This feels like a very specific law, which raises the question, "How annoying are canary owners in Berkeley?" 

In Berkeley, California, it is illegal to whistle 

for a lost canary before 7:00 am.
