Gossip in Our Logo Design Office

As I walked-in, I saw everyone gossiping. I wondered what happened, so I asked, “What’s up? No work today?”

Billy Boy said, “Network is down and will be back up again in half an hour. So, we are just having a chitchat.”

I went to my seat and turned on the computer.

Sunny Said, “Hey Billy Boy…You’ve got to stop calling me so late. 1 a.m. is not a good time at all.”

I turned around and looked at Billy Boy. I noticed that everyone was looking at Billy Boy.

S.Z. said, “1 a.m.????? Why were you up so late?”

Billy Boy said, “Actually, I didn’t feel like sleeping, so I just went online and started checking our ranking. I got so excited after seeing the ranking of one of our sites that I just picked up the phone and called Sunny.”

I said, “You checked the ranking at 1 a.m.?”

Billy Boy said, “Well, that’s nothing. One night I saw our site in dream and I woke up at 4 a.m. I had a good dream so I turned on the computer and checked the ranking, but I didn’t call Sunny that night.”

Sunny stared at Billy Boy and then said, “Thank you very much!”

I felt sorry for Billy Boy, but as I am a nice person I didn’t say anything.

Ars Alan was there and he always wants to come up with something new and unique.

So, considering Billy Boy’s act as a good thing, he said, “Well! That’s nothing. I checked the ranking on my wedding day on the stage using my BlackBerry.”

Ars Alan really took pride in saying that.

We all looked at Ars Alan and kept looking for a few seconds without blinking our eyes.

Ars Alan Jr. looked calm and he had a smile on his face as though he had achieved something really big.

He said, “That’s nothing. I check the ranking every night from home before going to sleep.”

Sunny took a deep breath and said, “I can’t annouce a winner. You all are winners. Bravo!”

Then…Newbie came to me and whispered, “Hey, why don’t you write something about Maria?”

Ana heard him and said, “Yes, you never wrote anything about her. She just joined our logo design office and you should definitely write something.”

I said, “Well, S.Z. and Billy Boy have already asked me, but I have nothing to write. However, you are welcome to write a guest post.”

Newbie said, “I can help you if you need an idea.”

I asked him how.

Newbie replied, “You know she drives to work. I’ll just take a needle and puncture one of her car tyres. That will be so tight. She will wonder what to do, how to change the flat tyre and how to go home. Then, you will have something to write about.”

Newbie then launged with all his teeth out of his mouth, “Hayhay Hayhay Haha Haha...” He also moved his head while laughing.

Yes…His laugh is weird, totally weird.

As I am a nice person, I don’t like when people bother others.

So, I said to Newbie, “Listen, if you look evil, then it doesn’t mean you should act evil as well. You need to stop acting like that. Don’t bother others. It’s not good.”

As soon as I completed my sentence, S.Z. made an announcement, “Everyone…The network is up. So, let’s get back to work.”

So…Everyone stopped gossiping and we began the work.

Let’s Welcome Newbie in Our Logo Design Office

Remember I told you guys about some tragedies in our logo design office a few days ago? Well, we can now see happiness around us, thanks to our new colleague Newbie (Yes, his name is Newbie). He is very lively.

Sunny provided an unbiased opinion / case study about Newbie.

According to Sunny, “The way Newbie laughs with all his teeth out, he looks more like a clown to me than a Marketing Expert. I believe he has a brighter future in Circus than Marketing.”

According to Billy Boy, “Newbie’s hair style reminds me of my favorite… …” Billy Boy couldn’t complete his sentence as the tears came out of his eyes. He then pulled out his wallet, took out a picture and showed it to me.

I was astonished to see the picture. Billy Boy’s friend (or whatever) had the same hair style as Newbie (S.Z. too once had the same hair style).

Here it is:

Billy Boy sadly said, “I was in love with my little hen. But, one day, hunger took over and I ended up eating it. Now, when I see Newbie, he reminds me of my little hen.”

Let’s hope Billy Body doesn’t slaughter Newbie one day.

According to Ars Alan Jr., “Newbie makes me laugh all the time. Whenever he talks about car racing, I feel like laughing. He doesn’t know what kind of vicious driver I am. I can beat him anytime. He has challenged me to race this Sunday, but I won’t go. I don’t want him to get into an accident and hurt himself. He is funny… hahahaha…”

So, as we can see, Newbie has brought happiness here.

When Sunny sees Newbie, Sunny smiles.
When Billy Boy sees Newbie, he looks at his hair with love as a mother would see her little infant with love and care.
When Ars Alan Jr. sees him, he laughs.

But…How in the world did Newbie manage to make the saddest manager in the world (no other than S.Z.) happy?

Well, I had to play my role for this.

S.Z. was sad as usual and what made him sadder that others were now happy. So, as he knows that I am a nice person, he came to me to get some advice.

S.Z. said, “Ever since Newbie joined, everyone is happy here. How can I feel happy? I am not happy at all?” He was really sad when he said that.

I said, “Listen S.Z., as you are the manager here, don’t you want the jobs of your subordinates to be secure?”

S.Z. said, “Yes, of course. But why are you saying this?”

I said, “Newbie has done you a big favor and you should be happy.”

S.Z. was startled to hear that. He said, “What are you talking about? Come on, tell me what’s up?”

I said, “Listen S.Z., yesterday, I gave newbie a ride to his home. On our way to his place he told me that he was asked to join office on the 15th of November, but he refused and said that he’d join from the 1st of December.”

S.Z. said, “Yes, I know that. But, where is the favor? He had refused to accept my offer.”

I said, “There was a big reason why he had refused it. In the past, for some unknown reasons, he joined three offices on the 15th and all those offices got closed down within 3 months. This is why he didn’t join our logo design office on the 15th. So, you should be happy for what he has done for you and us.”

S.Z. was speechless.

After a few seconds’ silence, S.Z. said, “I knew you’d help me out somehow. You are very kind and nice. I don’t know what I’d do without you.”

I said, “Mention not S.Z. Let’s get back to work now.”

After a few minutes, when I looked around I noticed that everyone was smiling and looking at Newbie after every few seconds. I am glad to see my colleagues so happy.

Some Tragedies in Our Logo Design Office

I just want to say one thing, “O My Goodness Gracious! What is going on here?”

Why did I say this? Well, because we have been witnessing some tragedies in our very own logo design office.

I could never expect that so many of my colleagues will face some serious problems at the same time. Now, I don’t want to talk about our Asst. Manager S.Z. here because he always has some sort of problem. I think we all should call him ‘Sad’ all the time. Or, since he is sad most of the time, we should make the word longer and call him ‘Saad’ to at least try to understand his anguish.

However, I say, he is a man of honor. He respects people who speak the truth. For example, whenever I share his painful story with the world, he never feels bad, but, in fact, he appreciates it.

One day, he said, “Hey, thanks for sharing my stories. I hope people do pray for me.”

I don’t think if anyone has time to pray for S.Z. But, as I am a nice person, I never said this to him.

Oh well… I didn’t want to talk about S.Z. here, but as he is an influential person, I just couldn’t help it.

Now… Let me tell you about our Social Media Expert Billy Boy. He had a Laser Eye Surgery on Monday. He was already facing some problems due to stress (maybe dedication), and then this tragedy occurred. He loves our Logo Design Office so much that he came to work the very next day. He has to wear glasses now though, but he doesn’t take any days off.

What a dedicated man Billy Boy is! He feels happy when we call him Billy ‘Boy’. He feels 35 years younger.

Anyway… do you remember Ars Alan Jr. who recently joined our Logo Design Office? Well, he couldn’t keep tragedies away from him either. Just yesterday morning, as he was getting off the bus, he tripped and fell. His knee was hurt badly. He couldn’t walk straight as he felt a lot of pain.

As I am a nice person, I gave him a ride… and dropped him off… close to his place. He couldn’t come to work today because of pain. I hope he gets better soon.

Our Jr. Content Writer Ms. Ana also faced a tragedy. Well, she wrote content for a client on Tuesday. The client gave a ‘little’ negative feedback and she felt very depressed. Even though it was a first-draft and it’s normal that clients ask for revisions, but she was very sad.

Let’s hope she gets better soon, because it was not a big deal, really.

Our very own Sunny is in tension as well. He was recently confirmed as a permanent employee and the thought of throwing a party for colleagues has been deteriorating his health even more.

As I am a nice person, all I want to say is that we don’t need a party. His health is more important to us. So what if he is stingy? We need to leave him alone.

Now, let’s talk about our IT Network boy Zee Shake. He got a hair-cut this week. He gets a hair-cut once in 6 months. So, this is a very honorable month now. His long hair served as an abode for lots of little insects, for example, little spiders, roaches, ants, and so on. Had he used some Shampoo in last 6 months, he could have got rid of them.

Well, keeping the jokes aside, how did he finally decide to get a hair-cut this month? Well, Tem and Aamir in design department actually collected some money, gave it to him and begged him to get a hair-cut.

But then… there are a couple of people who are really happy. They are: Al (Designer) and Ars Alan.

Around 6pm yesterday, Al saw me, said Hi to me. He was smiling and couldn’t keep his teeth inside his mouth. He was very happy. I need to sit with him and take a 5-minute interview. This way I’ll be able to share his ‘Secret to Happiness’ with others.

Why is Ars Alan happy? Well, he is getting married today. I don’t know if I’ll be able to attend his marriage ceremony, but I’ll try my best.

Let’s hope and pray that things get better for everyone.
