Yes, you’ve guessed it correctly. Lamar Teddy has recently joined our logo design office as a designer and I tell you, he is a really cool person.
What makes him so cool? I don’t know. I am just saying because I want to help end his pain.
You may ask: what pain? Let me tell you what happened…
I went to cafeteria to get some water and noticed that Billy Boy, Ars Alan Jr., Newbie and Lamar Teddy were already there, sitting and talking. So, I walked towards them and asked, “What’s up folks? What’s going on?”
Billy Boy said, “Nothing mate. It’s just that Lamar Teddy wasn’t feeling well, so we thought we would just sit here and help him relax.”
I felt sorry for Lamar Teddy. So, I asked, “What happened? You have fever or something?”
Instead of him, Ars Alan Jr. replied, “No, it’s not that. He is just having this problem that… what problem is he having Billy Boy?”
Billy Boy stared at him and said, “I thought you came here to help, but you don’t even know what is going on here. Why don’t you go back and do your work?”
Ars Alan Jr. looked embarrassed and Newbie started laughing (Yes, the same weird laugh), “HayHay HayHay Haha Haha…” (Yes, he moved his head too while laughing with his eyes wide open)
I realized that situation could get worse for Lamar Teddy, so as I am a nice person I thought I should work with Billy Boy to help him.
I asked Newbie and Ars Alan Jr. to return to their seats as Sunny was looking for them.
Ars Alan Jr. said, “Yes, I need to complete this very important task today…what task is that Newbie?”
Newbie replied, “You have to take your medicine on time today… HayHay HayHay Haha Haha…”
Ars Alan Jr. looked at him angrily and said, “You just zip it boy.”
…And then they walked out of the cafeteria.
I sat with Lamar Teddy and asked him, “What’s up mate? You look tense. Is everything ok at home?”
Lamar Teddy replied, “Yes, everything is fine at home. It’s just that my friends are telling me that I shouldn’t have joined this office.”
I was surprised to hear that and Billy Boy almost screamed, “Whaattt? Who told you that and why? This is the coolest place on Earth man.”
Lamar Teddy took a really deep breath and said, “Actually, after I joined this office a few days ago, I have only been spending money here and haven’t made any money yet. This is why everyone is discouraging me.”
I felt sorry for him.
I asked, “Can you elaborate on what you mean by only spending money here?”
He replied, “You know all new-comers were throwing a party, so I thought about chipping in too. Then right after that money was collected to buy a gift, so I opened my wallet again. Then just yesterday morning as I was driving to work, I got into an accident, so I had to get my car fixed too. This is why my friends are telling me that I have only been spending money here and not making any.”
I realized the severity of the issue.
I said, “Listen Lamar Teddy, when juniors were throwing the party, you got involved willingly even though I was totally against it, you know that. You should not have chipped in that time. Later, when the money was collected for the gift, it was again for those who wanted to contribute willingly, no one was forcing, you know that. Lastly, you need some driving lessons pal. You can’t blame the office for that.”
Lamar again took a really deep breath and said, “Yes, you are 100% right. I did it all willingly and the accident was not the fault of our office. It’s just that I couldn’t explain all this to my friends and they kept putting pressure on me, so I got nervous. I’ll tell them tonight that what had happened actually.”
Billy Boy said, “Well, it seems like your problem has been resolved and you are all set.”
Lamar Teddy looked at me and said, “Yes, I feel relaxed and cool now. I want to thank you for helping me out. You are a very nice person. I can get back to work now peacefully. Thank you again.”
I said, “Mention not Lamar Teddy. I am always here to help. I am glad you are cool now.”
We then got up and went back to our department.

Award in Our Logo Design Office
Before I share this story with you all, I need to tell you that it’s not a real award. We had a discussion and at the end of the discussion S.Z. said, “…the award goes to…” So, let’s not take this award thing literally.
Now, here is what happened in our logo design office.
After lunch, I went to my department and noticed that all the associates were sitting in a circle and talking. As soon as they saw me, they stopped talking.
The first thought that should have come to my mind was that they were planning to pull a prank or do something evil, but as I am a nice person this negative thought didn’t come to my mind.
I said, “Wus up? What’s good in the hood? Why you all are quiet now?”
S.Z. said, “Well, we were discussing that who is the most helpful person in our logo design office and we realized that you have helped a lot of people here.”
S.Z. continued, “I can’t forget how you helped save my engagement and how you provided couselling from time to time. I am really thankful to you.”
Sunny said, “I can’t forget how you helped me on my first day at work by telling Mr. Right to be quiet. I am also thankful to S.Z. for not letting me bump my head into the wall. You also helped me when I suffered from bachelor-o-phobia. You are indeed the nicest person here.”
Billy Boy said, “I must mention your great favors as well. You had really helped me out when you had told me to meditate as my dedication at work was badly affecting my personal life. I don’t have words to thank you.”
Ars Alan said, “I am really thankful to you because I hated the fact that S.Z. was jealous of me as I was getting married before him. You told him how there were other people too who were unmarried. Your counselling was wonderful.”
Ana said, “I was really sad after getting Jane’s harsh comments on my work. I am really thankful that you didn’t mind that my work was not up to the mark and did it yourself. I really appreciate it.”
Ars Alan Jr. said, “I still remember the day when I had injured my knee and you had given me a ride and dropped me off…close to my home. It was very nice of you.”
Maria said, “I want to thank you for exposing those people who wanted you to write a bad, bad post about me. I am really thankful.”
When Maria said that, Newbie laughed with his teeth out and head moving right and left, “Hayhay Hayhay Haha Haha...”
Then Newbie said, “You give me a ride everyday. You are really a nice person. I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart.”
Zee Shake happened to be there as well. He said, “I also want to thank you for taking me to the hospital when I had broken my fingers. Thank you very much.”
As I am a nice person, I just couldn’t take it anymore… So, I said, “Come on folks! What happened to you all today? It is my responsibility to help out my colleagues. I didn’t do anything extraordinary. So, please stop thanking me like this.”
S.Z. said, “I am going to send a request to Ms. Ann in HR for an award, because the award goes to…you.”
I said, “Listen S.Z. I don’t need an award for helping out my colleagues. So, let’s end this conversation and let’s get back to work.”
So…The meeting ended and I was glad that my counselling was always helpful.
Now, here is what happened in our logo design office.
After lunch, I went to my department and noticed that all the associates were sitting in a circle and talking. As soon as they saw me, they stopped talking.

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.
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.

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.

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.

A Happy and Sad Day in Logo Design Office
Today, we heard an awesome news in our logo design office that our very own Mr. Accountant has been blessed with a son.
When Billy Boy told me in the morning, I thought he was joking. So, I directly asked Mr. Accountant. As I entered the cafeteria, he saw me and came to me.
I said hi to him and asked him, “I heard something today… Is it right?”
He replied, “Yes.”
So, I congratulated him. He looked happy and, of course, he should be.
We all pray for his little ‘toy’ that May he be blessed with sound health and happiness.
Now, having said that…We noticed a sad person in our logo design office too and he was no other than our SEO dude Sunny.
Sunny is a jolly good fellow but he looked really sad. I wondered what happened to him.
So, as I am a nice person, I thought I should ask him.
I went to him and asked, “Hey Sunny Bunny, today you don’t look funny. What’s up mate? Who beat you up today?”
He took a deep breath and said, “Nah man, nothing. No beating today. I am fine.”
I realized something was not right.
I said nicely, “Sunny, you don’t look ok to me. If something is bothering you, you can share with me. You know how I have helped out S.Z. and Billy Boy in the past. I am sure I will be able to help you as well.”
Sunny looked at me and said, “I don’t know if I should tell you or not. But, yes, you are right. I am sad today.”
I said, “We all feel sad Sunny. So, it’s normal. But, you need to tell me what is bothering you so I will try to help you. If you are taking drugs, then still tell me.”
Sunny said, “No, I don’t take drugs. Even though my health has been deteriorating and I am shrinking day by day, but I assure you that I am not on drugs.”
He continued, “It’s just that I wonder when I’ll become a husband.”
He looked down after saying that. Maybe he was trying to hold his tears.
After a few seconds he again took a deep breath and said, “When I was in school, my friends used to dream about becoming doctors, pilots and engineers, but I always dreamed about becoming a husband.”
Now, I realized why he was sad.
I wondered why in the world then he became an SEO.
But…As I am a nice person, I didn’t say this to him.
I said, “Sunny, listen. You have been infected by Bachelor-o-phobia just like S.Z. I didn’t know it was so contagious.”
Sunny stayed quiet for a few seconds and then said, “Yes, you are right. I am talking like S.Z. now.”
As I had to console him, I said, “No Sunny. You never talked like this before. So, you seem to be in the initial stages. With proper meditation as well as medication, I am sure you will start feeling normal soon. Hey, it’s good to get married, but feeling sad like this is not good buddy, this is what you need to take care of.”
Sunny again took a deep breath… But this time Billy Boy screamed and said, “This is enough Sunny. Stop breathing like this.” Then Billy Boy picked up an air-freshener and started spraying.
I thanked Billy Boy in my heart, but didn’t say anything because I didn’t want to hurt Sunny’s feelings.
Let’s hope Sunny gets better soon.

Amazing Ars Alan Jr.
I have got to share an amazing news with you all today. A few days ago I had told everyone that Ars Alan was getting married and S.Z. was really sad. Well, guess what… We have another Ars Alan in the department and he is not married either… just like S.Z.
We call him Ars Alan Jr. What a coincidence!
He is older than Ars Alan, but junior in position. So, our Assistant Manager S.Z. can now look up to him and console himself.
Ars Alan Jr. has some amazing qualities. One unique quality is that he can predict an adversity long before it occurs. Three weeks ago, when he joined our logo design office, he told us that something terrible would happen. He advised us all to be cautious. He was walking and running here and there in anxiety (as though he had an upset stomach).
He even went home early and told us to follow his footsteps.
Would you guys like to know how right he was and what happened that day?
The answer is: Nothing! Yes, nothing happened that day.
But…I tell you…He is an amazing person.
He is very knowledgeable and makes claims that the masters in his industry won’t even make. (Yes, he is that good).
Not only he is good at what he does, he also tries to help out Billy Boy (who is recovering from a unique illness) by advising him how he can improve his campaigns. Does Billy follow his instructions? Well, only Billy can answer this question.
Why am I telling everyone about Ars Alan Jr. today?
Well, because, today, he told me again that something bad would happen.
Hmmm…
My car took a long time to start in the morning. I hope it starts in the evening when I get off. I hope he didn’t give me a signal that something would happen to my car.
What will happen? Will something happen to him or someone else?
Ars Alan Jr. doesn’t even know the answer. I hope the same thing happens again, like last time, i.e. Nothing!

An Interview with Zee Shake… About Upcoming Cricket Match
Our Logo Design Office is going to have a cricket match with another team this Saturday and the most excited person is… no other than our very own Zee Shake!
So, we thought about having a talk with Zee Shake. As we were thinking, Zee Shake walked in to our department to get a print-out. It was a golden opportunity for us to discover his views. So, we took a short 5-minute interview.
All players are excited and willingly contributing (to book the ground, buy food and water, etc.), but when Sunny asked Zee Shake to contribute, his voice started shaking. It seemed like he was not willing to contribute. He said, “Let’s not buy mineral water and save money. I will bring my water from home. You all should do the same.”
We all said… Hmmm… It’s good to save money, but it’s not good to be… Hmmm… Oh well.
Zee Shake also said, “Wiki and Amir will come with me. So, I will have them contribute in Gas money as well.” I wonder what Zee Shake will do with all the money as he doesn’t like to spend money at all.
Zee Shake was so concerned about his money that he asked Billy Boy, “We will play, right? We won’t lose the money, right? You have booked the ground already; I hope in case of a problem we’ll get the money back, right?”
According to Billy Boy, Zee Shake is a dangerous cricketer. How? Well, when Billy Boy asked him if he was a batsman or bowler, Zee Shake bragged, “I am equally good at both batting and bowling. I am an excellent spinner and I bat really well too.” When we heard this, we did our best to control our laugh.
Zee Shake laughed at our Accountant Guy. He said, “Will he come? If so, how will he run? Hahahaha…” I wonder how our Mr. Accountant will react after he finds out. Hmmm…
Well, I wonder how Zee Shake will run. His girly walk is funny and he will look funnier when he will run.
According to S.Z., “Zee Shake takes small steps. So, it will take him twice as much time as regular runner will take to reach the wicket.”
So… We have learned that Zee Shake doesn’t want to spend any money and he brags a lot about his Cricket skills. Now, this Saturday we all will find out how good he is… * i.e. if he gets a chance to bat or bowl *
All the best Zee Shake!

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

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:

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.

Sunny’s First and Painful Day in Logo Design Office
It’s time I introduce you to our new SEO guy Sunny. Sunny just joined our logo design office and we are glad to have him on board.
Sunny is a nice and friendly person and he likes to laugh when he cracks jokes, even if they are not funny. It seems like as if he loves to open his mouth and show us his teeth.
At times, we wonder: Why is he laughing?
He has one weird habit. When he sees two people argue, he says to one of them, “You are the man. You have beaten him badly in conversation. Keep it up!”
Since we are a bunch of smart people, we say to him, “Get a life Sunny Bunny, we aren’t trying to beat anyone here.” … In response, he would open his mouth and show us his teeth again.
But… Alas! He didn’t know that his laughs will turn into a painful cry. He didn’t know that a creepy nightmare awaited him on his first day at work… Poor fellow didn’t know he would have a debate with Mr. Right.
So… Finally, the day came. Sunny came in, said Hi to all of us and went to his seat. He turned on his computer and started checking out some websites.
Sara told Sunny to have a chat with Mr. Right, so Mr. Right would give him a brief overview of our sites.
So, after they introduced each other, Mr. Right showed him a few blogs and sites. Within a few minutes, their first argument began. It was on “duplicate content” that whether article directories are useful or not.
Whenever Sunny tried to explain something to Mr. Right, Mr. Right always calmly interrupted him and said his favorite sentence, “No, no, no Sunny, you are not right, this is incorrect.”
We were really enjoying their conversation and we could see how Sunny’s face was turning red. Mr. Right was still calm.
Then, they started talking about blogging and fresh content. Again, they had an argument. Mr. Right always completed his argument and whenever Sunny tried to explain something, Mr. Right calmly repeated his sentence, “No, no, no Sunny, you are not right, this is incorrect.”
We, in the Marketing Department, were doing our work as well as enjoying their conversation.
Then… All of a sudden… We saw something totally astonishing.
Sunny started banging his head on the table. He was hitting his head really hard. Mr. Right said to him, “No, no, no Sunny, this is not right, this is incorrect.”
Then Sunny stood up immediately and kicked his chair. His face was red and we could see water in his eyes.
Sunny then looked at the brick wall right in front of him.
S.Z. realized that Sunny would bump his head into the wall, so S.Z. ran and grabbed him by his shoulders.
Sunny screamed, “Let me go, I wanna die, I wanna die.”
Mr. Right also stood up and grabbed his hand and said, “No, no, no Sunny, this is not right, this is incorrect.”
Sunny screamed, “SHUT UP! You are a psycho you know that. I don’t want to see your face. Don’t talk to me. Can someone just shoot me?” Sunny was literally crying.
Mr. Right said, “No…” But before he could complete his sentence, I put my hand on Mr. Right’s shoulder and said, “Forgive the man… Will ya?”
Mr. Right looked at me, smiled and went to his seat.
We had to calm Sunny down. He was crying and water was coming out of his eyes and nose.
So, the rest of the day passed smoothly. The next day, Friday, Sunny left early and on Saturday he never showed up. We thought we would never see him again. But, we were happy to see him again on Monday.
He stays miles away from Mr. Right now, but we are glad he is still part of our team.

Ars Alan Was Badly Beaten Because of a Logo Design
You all are now familiar with Mr. Right, Sara, S.Z, I.D., and Billy Boy. I think it’s about time I introduce you to our SEO guy Ars Alan.
He is a very nice and friendly person. He got engaged last month and he didn’t invite any of us, just like S.Z. (I wonder why people are so stingy these days). Even though we have repeatedly asked him to bring some refreshments to work, but he just smiles, nods his head and doesn’t say anything. But, still, we think of him as a nice person.
Speaking of smiling and nodding… This is probably his favorite habit. You will see him do that when you ask him something.
For example, let’s say you ask him, “Hey Ars Alan, how did you improve the site ranking on that competitive keyword?”
In response Ars Alan will smile, nod his head and say, “You will learn one day”.
No matter what question you ask him, this is how he will respond, as if he holds a PhD in that particular area.
Mr. Right rightly responds in such a situation by saying, “Yeah, yeah, don’t tell us… we’ve got Google”. (By the way, Mr. Right has a similar habit as well)
So, anyway… The other day Ars Alan sent a text message to S.Z. that he has pain in his ankle and he won’t be able to come to work.
As soon as Ars Alan sent the message, he received a call from his friend. His friend is doing a website design and logo design course from a reputable institute and wanted to show some of his latest logo designs to Ars Alan. Luckily, Ars Alan was at home and his friend’s house was not far away either.
So, Ars Alan told him that he would be there within half an hour as he will walk slowly because of pain. Ars Alan left the house within 10-15 minutes.
As he was walking down the street, he noticed that a girl in front of him was limping too. He felt sorry for her. Then, all of a sudden, she stopped, turned around and looked at Ars Alan angrily. To show sympathy Ars Alan looked at her and smiled.
She ignored his smile and continued walking. Ars Alan started walking too. After a few seconds, she stopped again, turned around and yelled at him, “What the heck do you think you are doing pretty boy? Are you trying to make fun of me by imitating me?”
Before Ars Alan could say anything, a car stopped right there. Two tall, muscular guys came out. One of them asked the girl, “What’s up sis… Why you look so angry?”
She said angrily, “Bro… This punk has been chasing me and making fun of me by imitating the way I am walking”.
Both guys looked at Ars Alan angrily and walked towards him.
Ars Alan said, “Hey guys, wait, let me explain… The thing is…” and before he could complete his sentence one guy punched him in the face and the other one kicked him.
Well… Let’s not discuss what happened after that... and… Let’s just feel sorry for Ars Alan for getting brutally beaten by two tall, muscular guys.
Even though Ars Alan’s grandfather was a professional wrestler and had taught him some techniques too, like how to hit on thighs to make your opponent fall and things like that, but Ars Alan couldn’t apply any techniques.
Ars Alan wished he had not left the house to see the logo designs.
But, still, he is a strong man and he came to work the next day. I hope his wounds heal soon.
He is a very nice and friendly person. He got engaged last month and he didn’t invite any of us, just like S.Z. (I wonder why people are so stingy these days).

But, still, he is a strong man and he came to work the next day. I hope his wounds heal soon.

S.Z.’s Sad Day in Logo Design Office
As I walked into my department, I saw S.Z., as always, on his seat. However, today, he was not smiling and thinking about his marriage. Instead, he was staring at the logo design on his keyboard and he seemed really sad. I wondered what happened to him.
I said Hi to him and went to my seat. Then, after a few minutes, I thought I should ask him what happened. I wanted to ensure that everything was fine.
So, I went to him and asked, “What’s up mate? Why you look so sad today?”
He looked at me and said, “I have been sad for past few days. Actually, I felt bad when I.D. told us his story that how he was playing with his daughter and broke the vase”.
I said, “Yes, it shouldn’t have happened. He told me the vase was really expensive”.
S.Z. said, “No, it’s not the vase that is making me sad. What made me sad was the fact that I.D. is younger than me and he is married and I am not. I didn’t know he was married until I heard his story. I mean no offense, but look at him… you know what he looks like when he laughs and claps”.
S.Z. continued, “I am older than him, I have been going to gym for past few years, I am in much better shape than I.D., but I am still not married. I am the only unmarried man in the department”. He seemed really sad.
To console him I said, “That’s not true. Ars Alan is not married either. He just got engaged last month”.
S.Z. replied, “Yes, true, but didn’t you notice that he is 6 years younger than me? He is not a man, he is a boy”.
I felt sorry for S.Z. now.
S.Z. sighed and said, “I have been trying to get married for past few years. May be, it’s because of my braces that my proposals were always rejected”.
I said, “I don’t think so. It’s a lame excuse. But, anyway, at least you are engaged now, so probably braces have nothing to do with it. By the way, does your father-in-law wear glasses?”
S.Z. said, “Yes, he does and he wears really thick glasses, thicker than I.D.’s glasses”.
Now I realized that may be S.Z. was right and due to weak eyes his father-in-law couldn’t see him properly and accidentally gave approval.
But, as I am a nice person, I couldn’t say this to him. So, to console him again, I said, “Whatever happens S.Z., it happens for good. May be your marriage was delayed so you could find the perfect life partner. Aren’t you happy that your life after marriage will be good and peaceful?”
S.Z. thought about something for a second and said, “Yes, you are right. I didn’t look at the bright side of it. You always help me with your extraordinary advice. You are indeed a genius”.
S.Z. looked happy now.
I said, “Mention not S.Z. Start smiling and start thinking about your marriage again”.
I went back to my seat and S.Z. began smiling again. I was glad I had managed to turn his sad day into a happy day.
I said Hi to him and went to my seat. Then, after a few minutes, I thought I should ask him what happened. I wanted to ensure that everything was fine.
So, I went to him and asked, “What’s up mate? Why you look so sad today?”
He looked at me and said, “I have been sad for past few days. Actually, I felt bad when I.D. told us his story that how he was playing with his daughter and broke the vase”.

S.Z. looked happy now.
I said, “Mention not S.Z. Start smiling and start thinking about your marriage again”.
I went back to my seat and S.Z. began smiling again. I was glad I had managed to turn his sad day into a happy day.

Zee Shake Broke his Fingers in Logo Design Office
Zee Shake’s stomach was very upset the other day and his presence in the office was not healthy for office environment. Luckily, we had lots of plants in the office to provide us with fresh oxygen. But, they weren’t even enough.
Let me tell you a little about Zee Shake first. He is our IT Network expert. He is a very nice and friendly person. No matter what you say to him, he will laugh, nod his head and say, “Oh Really? I see… Hehehe…”
Oh… by the way, do you know how we found out that Zee Shake’s stomach was upset? Actually, he has been in our department for past few days to fix some network problems and install more PCs.
Well, so, Mr. Right (a fellow writer) said to me, “Hey, did you notice that after every 20-30 minutes, Zee Shake gets up and leaves the room?”
I said, “Yes, I have been noticing that too. His face looks red too when he gets up (He is white, so red color looks really obvious)”.
Mr. Right said, “Let’s investigate where our Zee Shake goes. I hope he is not taking drugs”.
Sara said, “May be he is taking drugs, there is this weird smell everywhere in the office”.
So… We thought about investigating. As we were discussing what to do, Zee Shake returned, so we stopped talking and continued our work.
Then, after about 25 minutes, Zee Shake got up and left the room quickly. As planned, S.Z. followed him. S.Z. returned within a minute and said, “He went to the bathroom. It seems like his stomach is upset. It’s not the smell of drug everywhere, it’s something else… If you know what I mean”.
We all said, “Hmmm…”
No wonder why he always looked red when he left the room and looked fresh when he returned. We had wasted about 5 air fresheners already. There were more hazardous gases and carbon dioxide in the office than oxygen.
We decided to have some fun. We decided that next time when he goes, we all will follow him to the bathroom.
So, Zee Shake returned, looked all relieved and happy, and went to his seat. Then after about 20 minutes, I.D. got up and left the room. We thought I.D. wanted to welcome Zee Shake near the bathroom to have more fun.
Anyway, within 2-3 minutes, as usual, Zee Shake got up. We all got up too. He looked at us and wondered what was happening. He walked out of the room quickly and we followed him.
When we reached the bathroom, we didn’t find I.D. anywhere. He was already in the bathroom and the other bathroom was full too.
Zee Shake desperately said, “Ohhh No…”
Now, I.D. likes to spend a lot of quality time in the bathroom. As we have two bathrooms for men, we knew that I.D. would take his time.
Zee Shake’s face turned redder now.
S.Z. asked, “What’s up mate? Why you look all red? Is everything ok?”
Zee Shake replied, “Oh Yes Yes… Hehehe…”
Zee Shake seemed worried. He started walking here and there. Then after a minute, when he thought things would get out of control, he screamed, made a fist and punched the brick wall.
He punched the brick wall so hard that two of his fingers broke and he screamed even louder with pain. His scream was way too loud. Very extraordinary!
Immediately, one of the bathrooms opened and I.D. came out quickly, he looked worried and said, “What happened? What happened? Who screamed so loudly?”
Before we could respond, Zee Shake pushed I.D. away and ran into the bathroom. He continued to scream with pain in the bathroom too.
I felt sorry for him. Even though Billy Boy had told I.D. not to play with his colleagues’ stomach, I.D. still did it.
Zee Shake came out of the bathroom after a few minutes and we rushed him to the hospital which is not far away from our logo design office.
I hope his stomach and fingers get better soon.
Let me tell you a little about Zee Shake first. He is our IT Network expert. He is a very nice and friendly person. No matter what you say to him, he will laugh, nod his head and say, “Oh Really? I see… Hehehe…”
Oh… by the way, do you know how we found out that Zee Shake’s stomach was upset? Actually, he has been in our department for past few days to fix some network problems and install more PCs.
Well, so, Mr. Right (a fellow writer) said to me, “Hey, did you notice that after every 20-30 minutes, Zee Shake gets up and leaves the room?”
I said, “Yes, I have been noticing that too. His face looks red too when he gets up (He is white, so red color looks really obvious)”.
Mr. Right said, “Let’s investigate where our Zee Shake goes. I hope he is not taking drugs”.
Sara said, “May be he is taking drugs, there is this weird smell everywhere in the office”.
So… We thought about investigating. As we were discussing what to do, Zee Shake returned, so we stopped talking and continued our work.
Then, after about 25 minutes, Zee Shake got up and left the room quickly. As planned, S.Z. followed him. S.Z. returned within a minute and said, “He went to the bathroom. It seems like his stomach is upset. It’s not the smell of drug everywhere, it’s something else… If you know what I mean”.
We all said, “Hmmm…”
No wonder why he always looked red when he left the room and looked fresh when he returned. We had wasted about 5 air fresheners already. There were more hazardous gases and carbon dioxide in the office than oxygen.
We decided to have some fun. We decided that next time when he goes, we all will follow him to the bathroom.
So, Zee Shake returned, looked all relieved and happy, and went to his seat. Then after about 20 minutes, I.D. got up and left the room. We thought I.D. wanted to welcome Zee Shake near the bathroom to have more fun.
Anyway, within 2-3 minutes, as usual, Zee Shake got up. We all got up too. He looked at us and wondered what was happening. He walked out of the room quickly and we followed him.
When we reached the bathroom, we didn’t find I.D. anywhere. He was already in the bathroom and the other bathroom was full too.
Zee Shake desperately said, “Ohhh No…”
Now, I.D. likes to spend a lot of quality time in the bathroom. As we have two bathrooms for men, we knew that I.D. would take his time.
Zee Shake’s face turned redder now.
S.Z. asked, “What’s up mate? Why you look all red? Is everything ok?”
Zee Shake replied, “Oh Yes Yes… Hehehe…”
Zee Shake seemed worried. He started walking here and there. Then after a minute, when he thought things would get out of control, he screamed, made a fist and punched the brick wall.
He punched the brick wall so hard that two of his fingers broke and he screamed even louder with pain. His scream was way too loud. Very extraordinary!
Immediately, one of the bathrooms opened and I.D. came out quickly, he looked worried and said, “What happened? What happened? Who screamed so loudly?”
Before we could respond, Zee Shake pushed I.D. away and ran into the bathroom. He continued to scream with pain in the bathroom too.
I felt sorry for him. Even though Billy Boy had told I.D. not to play with his colleagues’ stomach, I.D. still did it.
Zee Shake came out of the bathroom after a few minutes and we rushed him to the hospital which is not far away from our logo design office.
I hope his stomach and fingers get better soon.

Billy Boy Tripped in Sainsbury’s and Landed in a Box
Billy Boy is our ever-smiling colleague. He is a Social Media Expert, an integral part of our Marketing team and a very nice and friendly person.
But… There is something I can’t understand about him and I have never asked him either.
Actually, he has small eyes and chubby cheeks. When he smiles, the upper part of his cheeks moves up towards his eyes and his eyes close. I wonder if he can see us while smiling.
Next time when he smiles, I think I should wave my hand right in front of his eyes.
So… Anyway, the other day our boss asked him to go and get some stuff from Sainsbury’s and then get the latest logo design book from WHSmith.
Billy Boy asked I.D. to come along. This way, Billy Boy would be able to make fun of I.D. that how he hides in the bathroom at home when he gets scared. But, still, I.D. said Ok.
Sainsbury’s is not too far away from our office. So, in the afternoon they went to Sainsbury’s to get the required stuff.
As they were walking and looking around, Billy Boy asked I.D., “So, I.D. tell me something, if Sara gets mad at you at work, will you go and hide in the bathroom in our office? Hahahahaha…” Billy Boy then started laughing with his eyes closed.
Billy Boy said, “Don’t hide in office bathroom, we only have two bathrooms for men in the office and they are not even enough. So, please don’t play with your colleagues stomachs by hiding in the bathroom. Hahahahaha….” He laughed louder than before and this time his chubby cheeks totally covered his small eyes.
Billy Boy kept on looking at I.D. and I.D. kept looking down with both hands in his pockets. He didn’t know what to say.
Then… all of a sudden… Billy Boy screamed loudly, tripped and fell. There was a carton box open in front of him and his face landed inside the box.
He looked somewhat like this:

I.D. started laughing loudly. I.D. held his stomach with left hand, pointed his right index finger at Billy Boy and kept on laughing loudly instead of helping him get up, like this:

Billy Boy had sprained his ankle and he was having trouble getting up. After a little effort, finally, he managed to get up. He was limping as he was having trouble walking.
So, how did Billy Boy fall?
Well, there was a small piece of mat on the floor that he didn’t see. So, he tripped over.
My personal opinion is that as he was laughing at I.D., his eyes were closed and he couldn’t see the mat.
But… I.D. had a completely different story to share with us.
I.D. said, “As we were walking, Billy Boy kept on looking at me and continued laughing. There was a kid in front of us with some mats in his hands. He dropped one of them and didn’t notice. As I was looking down, I saw it and I knew Billy Boy would step on it without noticing it. So, I just kept quiet. Then… the inevitable happened. It was so funny. Hahahahaha…” And then I.D. started laughing loudly.
Billy Boy returned to office without buying anything from Sainsbury’s or the logo design book from the bookstore.
I hope his ankle heals soon.

How Did I.D. Slip in the Hallway Right After Sara?
Remember our soft-spoken E-Marketer I.D. (short white dude) who slipped in the hallway not too long ago? We asked him how he slipped and he told us his sad story.
Sara had already told us her story that she had slipped in the hallway because of a logo design. However, I.D. had a completely different story to share with us.
Let me tell you a little about him first.
He looks like a little mommy-daddy kind of kid. You know little kids in school who sit in the front row with oily and nicely combed hair and thick glasses and wear pants above their belly button?
He looks kind of like that. But… He is not little… He is in fact a married man.
So, anyway… here is how our discussion began:
S.Z. asked, “What happened to you I.D.? How did you slip?”
I.D. said, “Actually, my glasses broke yesterday and I didn’t notice, like Sara, that the floor was wet and I slipped too”.
I noticed that I.D. was not wearing his thick, black glasses that he had recently purchased.
I asked him, “Well, the floor was wet, but Sara slipped before you. Didn’t you even see her?”
I.D. said, “Yes, I saw her slip… but she looked so funny that I didn’t really bother thinking why she was slipping”. He looked embarrassed when he said that and he tried to control his smile too (Bad Boy). Sara looked at him angrily, but didn’t say anything.
W.Q. sighed, “I wish I could see her slip too”.
We all looked at W.Q. at the same time… It was not nice of him.
I asked I.D., “By the way, how did you break your glasses and how did you drive to work today?”
I.D. looked down and stuttered, “You know… public transport… I mean… that’s how I came”.
He didn’t tell us how he broke the glasses.
I realized something was fishy.
So, I asked again, “Well, fine. But, how did you break your glasses? You had just purchased them and they were expensive too”.
I.D. just kept looking down and didn’t say a word. After a few seconds, he took a deep breath and told us how he broke his glasses.
I.D. said, “Actually, yesterday, I was playing with my little daughter and I accidentally hit and broke a really expensive and antique Vase. I got scared that my wife would get angry at me. So, I thought I should go and hide in the bathroom. This way, I would be able to put the blame on my little daughter that she broke it. Then, within 2-3 seconds, I heard my wife walking towards the room, so I ran fast towards the bathroom, opened the door and entered quickly, without realizing that the floor was wet. I slipped and broke the glasses”. He continued to look down and he looked really, really embarrassed.
We all tried to control our laugh, but Sara did smile to take the revenge. S.Z. also controlled his laugh and put his hand on I.D’s shoulder and tried to console him.
Poor I.D. slipped twice in 2 days. Luckily, his bones were safe and neither broke in the hallway nor in the bathroom.
