Best wishes for a chill (ha!) & convivial weekend from your favorite™ public affairs jobs resource!  And, speaking of dog days, permit us to close with this seasonally appropriate snippet from the Iliad:

Sirius rises late in the dark, liquid sky
on summer nights, star of stars,
Orion's Dog they call it, brightest
of all, but an evil portent, bringing heat
and fevers to suffering humanity.
