Our interns told us social media quizzes are all the rage again. So, in honor of #CareersInEnergyWeek, we thought it would be fun to figure out what our title would be if we were an Energy Superhero. We'll go first: we are Dakota The Mysterious Line Worker! What's yours?

Today is National Boss's Day! What's the best way to celebrate? Knock off early today and be unavailable until Tuesday. Make them wonder. Make them scared of losing you. Make them appreciate how valuable you are. Or get them a card from Hallmark. We don't know your situation.
