Hello, and welcome to the April 2026 Interoffice Memo! These 'top of the month' episodes are meant to serve as reminders for important milestones throughout the year so I'm not posting standalone episodes about DST, taxes, or holiday party planning. There may even be a dash of current events sprinkled in from time to time, so buckle up, tune in, and take notes. xo Jess

Looking for a fancy work bag as a gift for your EA or yourself? Look no further than Ask An Assistant episode 46.

5Calls.org is your friend here in the US. They'll help you contact the right people for your city/state/district/county, and give you ideas for what you might say. You can call 24/7! No need to wait for business hours, and some folks find it easier to leave a voicemail, although I can personally attest that staffers at elected official offices are kind, diligent, and make it easy to voice your opinions.

I, Jess Lindgren, host of this podcast, believe that empathy is not a weakness; it is a strength, and, like so many things in this life, a practice. It is not a radical position to say 'stop killing children and other grownups, please and thank you.' The value and worth of every human being on this earth is not up for debate.

I'll leave you with this quote, which is both timely and evergreen:

To all the people still saying they're "not political" right now: that choice is political. Choosing normalcy while your neighbors are being targeted, detained, and stripped of their rights is a position, whether you admit it or not. Comfort is a privilege. Silence is participation. History doesn't remember neutrality kindly. If you can afford not to care, it's because someone else is paying the price.

Esteemed Colleague Ken asks who sends the calendar invite - I know folks have Strong Feelings about this, and my answer could be considered a bit of a hot take. Let me know what your process is! xo Jess
