The Impact of SEO and Logos on Billy Boy's Personal Life

Remember our Social Media Specialist Billy Boy? Yes, the same Billy Boy in our logo design office with small eyes and chubby cheeks.

We recently found out that he was 120% dedicated to his work. How? Well, because logos, blogging and SEO are now affecting his personal life. How do we know that? Let me explain…

Just yesterday he was sitting and staring at his monitor. It was obvious that he was daydreaming. As I am a nice person, I got worried that what happened to my good friend.

So, I went to him and asked him politely, “What happened Billy? Why you look so worried?”

Billy Boy said, “Nothing mate! I am cool.”

I said, “Billy, you can’t hide your emotions, something is not right. I hope your father didn’t beat you up again as you are now a grown-up and married man.”

Billy Boy sighed and said, “No, it’s not that. It’s just that I concentrate so much on my work that it has affected my personal life.”

He continued, “For example, my sister asked me to write an application for her and I ended up writing a blog post.”

I felt sorry for my good friend Billy Boy because of his mental condition.

Billy Boy continued, “Then my little cousin asked me to nicely write his name on his notebook and I drew a logo of his name.”

“Even worse…I told my father that his distant cousin was not a good man, so he should be tagged as NoFollow and let’s make a list of NoFollow and DoFollow relatives.” Billy Boy then took a deep breath.

I realized that Billy Boy was mentally stressed and too much work had a negative impact on his brain.

I said, “It’s all good Billy Boy. You are normal. It’s just that you have been working too hard.”

Billy Boy said, “Let me tell you one more incident. I went to Sainsbury’s and there was a long line at the counter. So, I started talking to people one by one and started moving forward. People got angry and told me not to be too smart and go back to the end of the line. See, I was doing link building so I could optimize myself to secure the first position in the line, but my strategy was probably not good.”

Now, I realized that this is a very serious matter and I may not be able to help Billy Boy.

As I am a nice person, I thought about consoling him.

I said, “Just relax buddy. I suggest you take a few days off and go out of town with your family to relax. Just try to meditate for a few minutes every day to clear your mind. This will give rest to your mind and it won’t affect your personal life.”

Billy Boy looked down for a few seconds and then said, “You are right mate! I should start meditating. You are indeed a life saver. Thank you very much mate, thank you very much!”

I said, “Mention not Billy Boy. I am always available for counseling. Let’s get back to work now.”

Let’s hope Billy Boy starts feeling better soon.

S.Z. and Pain - A Sad Story

Remember how our ‘once Affiliate Boy, now Assistant Manager’ S.Z. was sad a few months back because he was getting older and was still not married and to turn his sad day into a happy day I had told him that how Ars Alan was not married either in our department?

Well, I don’t have words to share what is going to happen soon. It will be a great event for Ars Alan, but it will increase S.Z.’s pain even more now.

Yes, you’ve got it… Ars Alan is getting married now and even though S.Z. has done his Master’s, he is still a Bachelor.

This has not only affected S.Z. mentally, but it has affected him physically as well. He is so sad and stressed that he even strained his back muscles in the gym.

“How? What Happened? Did something happen in the Logo Design Office?” You may wonder.

Well, S.Z. has been telling us some technical things about his back, but to be honest with you we could never understand his technical explanation.

The only viable explanation we have is that while working out, he was sad and he lifted more weights than he was supposed to and he strained some back muscles badly.

He is unable to walk straight now. As S.Z. is engaged, I wonder how his Father-in-Law will react when he sees him walk like an old man. Let’s hope and pray that this secret is never revealed and S.Z. gets better soon.

When Billy Boy sees him, he always laughs with his eyes closed and mouth wide open. I think this is not good. He shouldn’t laugh like this (in front of him I mean). This may hurt S.Z.’s feelings more as he is already going through a lot of mental and physical pain.

Let’s hope and pray he gets better soon.

Why Did I.D. Wear Lenses in Logo Design Office?

I.D. looked different today. Well, not in appearance, but in terms of how he was looking at things. He was actually staring at things to find out what he was looking at. I noticed that he was not wearing his glasses, so I asked him what happened to his glasses.

He said, “I am wearing lenses.”

He looked all red and shy when he said that. Plus, he said it so slowly that I couldn’t hear him. So, I had to ask him again.

He is shy, but it seems like that he wants to be stylish now.

He is probably following those celebrities who can’t take the fact that they are growing older. So, they do all kinds of things to look younger.

May be, I.D. is realizing that he is getting older and he is unable to bear this fact either.

Even though he wore lenses to replace his glasses, but one’s nature can never be replaced.

Just a few minutes ago, I noticed that he was wearing blue jeans, blue T-Shirt and looking at the wall with his head a bit tilted and mouth open.

So, in order to be stylish, he has a lot to learn.

So, Dear I.D., wearing lenses is not enough. Consult with S.Z. to learn catwalk (as he did just now unintentionally and everyone laughed. May be fashion is embedded in his veins).

Well, we are sill not sure why he wore lenses. This is yet an unsolved mystery in our logo design office.

Where does he have to go after work? Or did he break his glasses again like last time (when he ran to hide in bathroom and slipped)?

If he just wanted to impress us, then we are certainly not impressed.

So, let’s hope this mystery is solved soon.

I.D. Asks Us – Why Me?

Our fellow e-marketer I.D. is a very nice person and, probably, this is the reason why all of us in the Marketing Department tease him all the time.

Whenever he says something, Billy Boy interrupts him with these words, “We can’t hear you. Don’t be shy. Speak up!”

Mr. Right says, “Hey, I.D. why…” Well, I think I shouldn’t say what Mr. Right says. It won’t be nice to publicly humiliate our very own I.D.

However, S.Z. wonders all the time that why I.D. spends a lot of quality time in the bathroom.

One day, S.Z. said to me, “May be, I.D. is not allowed to use the bathroom at home. This is why he spends a lot of time in bathroom here, so he can remember his bathroom.”

I said, “Well, S.Z. if you are saying this from personal experience, then I believe you, otherwise, I.D. looks like a normal person to me.”

Oh well, who knows…I may be wrong!

So… Due to too much teasing, one day I.D. finally asked us, “Why me? Why do you guys make fun of me all the time? Don’t I have a right to work peacefully in our logo design office?”

Mr. Right said, “Well, we will think about NOT making fun of you, if you stop bringing your Pink comb to work. This is girls’ color. The color of your comb looks similar to the color of Sara’s hand bag. So, please change yourself first.”

Billy Boy laughed with his eyes closed and said, “I hope you don’t wear red socks. Hahahaha… hey, let me see your socks… Hahahaha”

Sunny laughed and said, “You are the man Billy Boy. Keep it up!”

Ars Alan said, “But he wears red glasses. Hahahaha… Hey, can’t you get normal glasses?”

It seemed like I.D. will start crying shortly.

So, as I am a nice person, I said, “Listen I.D., you need to start acting like a man. You need to stop using your pink comb and wearing red glasses. Out of all the colors in the world, why did you choose pink and red? Come on I.D., be a man.”

I also apologized to him, “I am sorry for saying this, please forgive me, but I am just being honest with you sister… Oh, I mean brother.”

I.D. stood up and started walking towards the door.

Sunny asked, “Where are you going? Please don’t hang yourself in the HR department.”

I.D. said, “Don’t worry… I am just going to get some water.”

S.Z. said, “I think you are going to the bathroom. It’s ok. No need to lie to us.”

I.D. looked at S.Z. angrily and walked out of the room.

As I am a nice person, I asked everyone in the department to stop teasing him for sometime. Let’s see what happens.

S.Z.’s New Look and 2 New Role Models

S.Z. has changed a lot. He looks different. We asked S.Z. about the change, but he seemed ashamed of telling us about his role model. However, after a lot of questioning, we were able to find out why he looked different.

The first thing that we learned was that he had not just 1 role model, but 2 role models. Yes, he got so much inspired by one that he changed his hair style. The same way, he got inspired by another one and finally removed his braces. Yes, S.Z. has removed his braces.

But… Who are those 2 role models of S.Z.?

Well, interestingly, they are not humans. S.Z. is now inspired by birds and animals (as we learned from S.Z.).

He recently changed his hair style and his head and hair now look similar to this:

S.Z.’s Role Model # 1:

You see S.Z.’s hair standing up just like the red part on the head in the picture below:



Another thing to note is that S.Z. is also skinny, so this picture really portrays him nicely:

Now, before we talk about S.Z.’s Role Model # 2, let’s see how S.Z.’s teeth looked before he got braces:

This is how S.Z. looked in braces (I mean S.Z.’s teeth looked, not S.Z.):




Now, having said that, let’s take a look at S.Z.’s 2nd role model. You may then decide whether S.Z. has turned his dream into reality or not:

S.Z.’s Role Model # 2:




Question: Has S.Z. managed to make his teeth look like his role model?

You be the judge!

Let me share a secret with you all now…


S.Z. has another Role Model as well.

Yes, he hasn’t disclosed this secret yet.

He is now planning to look like his 3rd Role Model.

Let me share the picture of S.Z.’s latest Role Model now:

S.Z.’s Role Model # 3:

This is how you may see S.Z. in the future:




When will he come to our logo design office in his new getup? Well, I don’t know, only S.Z. can tell us.

So, S.Z., all the best!

Ars Alan Took Revenge Outside the Logo Design Office

Remember Ars Alan? Yes, our skilled SEO expert who was brutally beaten by two tall guys when he was going to his friend’s house to see a custom logo design.

Well, he finally took revenge… and he made those guys pay back right outside our logo design office.

When we first heard that Ars Alan was beaten, we all were shocked. Why? Well, because Ars Alan is a vicious fighter, I tell you. It was due to pain in his ankle that he couldn’t teach a good lesson to those guys.

He once had a fight at a bus stop near his friend’s house where he alone beat 4 guys and one of them even had a knife.

So, the other day, we all were doing our work. All of a sudden, Billy Boy said to Ars Alan, “So, Ars Alan, did your wounds heal yet?”

Ars Alan looked at him, but didn’t say anything.

Billy Boy smiled with his eyes closed, like this:











Ars Alan ignored him.

Then… the lunch hour came. Ars Alan got up and left the office to buy some food. Billy Boy followed him, so he would make fun of Ars Alan and buy some food as well.

Usually they return within 15-20 minutes, but that day it took them 40-45 minutes. When Ars Alan walked-in, he was sweating, but he had a smile on his face. Billy Boy was serious and quiet as though it’s been years since he smiled or laughed.

Sara asked Ars Alan, “What happened? Is everything ok? Why are you sweating?”

Ars Alan smiled and said, “You will find out soon”.

We then turned to Billy Boy to ask him what happened.

Billy Boy said, “Well, as we were buying lunch, 3 tall and muscular guys came. One of them laughed at Ars Alan and asked him if he remembered the beating. Those guys were really tall and much, much heavier then Ars Alan. But… The next thing I saw was that Ars Alan punched the guy in the face who was laughing. The guy instantly fell. Then Ars Alan started kicking the other 2 guys. He was really fast. He was hitting them at a lightning fast speed”.

No wonder why Billy Boy was quiet and not making fun of Ars Alan anymore. He was scared that Ars Alan would beat him up too.

Billy Boy continued, “Those guys couldn’t even touch Ars Alan. Man… This guy is really fast and dangerous”.

We all looked at Ars Alan at the same time. He was smiling.

We were calling him a boy the other day, but no one messes with him now except me as we are two cool people.

Billy Boy Became Unconscious in Logo Design Office

As I walked into my department in the morning, I saw a weird (kind of big) fly, flying all around Billy Boy’s desk. Billy Boy is a big man and due to his pot belly he is also known as a Belly Boy, but he seemed scared of the little fly.

I realized that he must have brought it inside our logo design office with him. He must have climbed his neighbor’s tree to steal some apples, and from there, probably, the fly either chased him or sat in his pocket.

He asked me to kill the fly, but I said No to him.

I said, “Billy Boy, why are you asking me to kill the poor fly? Why don’t you do the honor?”

Billy Boy replied, “I am scared of it. It looks ugly”.

Mr. Right, with an evil grin on his face, said, “Well, Billy Boy, you aren’t pretty either”.

Billy Boy looked at Mr. Right angrily, but didn’t say anything. May be Billy Boy realized that Mr. Right was actually right.

Ars Alan said, “Hey, why don’t you crush it with your Belly… You Belly Boy… Hahahaha…”

Sunny laughed and said to Ars Alan, “You are the man. Keep it up!”

Belly Boy… I mean, Billy Boy, was looking at everyone angrily, but since they all were right, he couldn’t argue with anyone.

Then, the door opened, Sara and I.D. walked-in. They both looked at the weird fly, they both got scared, they both screamed and then both of them ran out of the room instantly.

Billy Boy was unable to concentrate on work as the fly was flying around his desk.

So, as I am a nice person, I thought about helping him out. I asked one of the peons to bring a Bug-Killer Spray to kill the fly. He did and within a few minutes the fly fell and, alas, passed away. When Billy Boy saw this he took a deep breath. We asked Sara and I.D. to come in as the fly was dead.

We all then began our work again and then within two minutes, we heard a loud noise. We saw Billy Boy lying on the floor face-up and his eyes were closed. He had fallen from his seat and he was unconscious.

“What happened? How did he fall?” You may ask.

Well, our peon had emptied out half of the spray bottle to kill the fly. After the fly died, Billy Boy took a deep breath and inhaled some hazardous gas. It harmed him a little, he became unconscious and fell.

However, the spray was supposed to be hazardous for insects and flies, but not for humans.

So, Mr. Right looked at Billy Boy and said, “May be he is an alien, like we saw in Man in Black. You know the big roach. This is why he was affected by the spray.”

Sunny laughed and said, “You are the man. Keep it up!”

Well, then, within half an hour, everything was back to normal.
