Here I come again with your weekly dose of laughter and fun to break the monotony of a 9 to 5 grind. A bit of laughter can make your day! It does for a lot of us, so it will hopefully do for you too. If you do not have the Acquired Amusement Deficiency Syndrome (AADS), you would love to read my posts. A job on someone else’s premises often feels like you are imprisoned behind invisible bars. It seems as if you have taken an oath to surrender your freedom with the squeaking sound of your access card and you are now a bound slave of your KPIs until you swipe your card to end the day.
Here a little laughter can make you feel relieved and people who have slowly relinquished this habit for pressure have been a victim of AADS. You will find such people in plenty in the corporate lobbies. They look like a happy hybrid of robots and bulldogs without the lace. Apart from AADS, they might also have diabetes, hypertension, heart blockage, and a few others. It is late in life that they realize they have not used the forty-three muscles of their faces at all which can inflate their liabilities and hospitalization bills. This is when they try to protrude their esophagus out and try practicing the most natural response, laughter, by getting into laughing clubs. Reading my articles and browsing my comic strips can save you from such hazards that your environment superimposes on you.
In an attempt to keep the mood light and make life feel easy, jokes and humor are the best of your companions. You would agree with me that the corporate world is full of idiosyncrasies and eccentric practices. More often than not, big corporations are more or less like a nation where they find it hard to keep a balance between the good and beautiful with the evil and ugly. This leads to queer policies and programs.
A productive interplay of human behavior gives rise to such bizarre conditions that it’s sometimes difficult to even breathe. This art of breathing and making others breathe where there are throat-choking and suffocating forces in play is precisely called organizational behavior. They employ scholars of organizational behaviour in their Human Resource Development departments who eventually also get transformed into veritable robots in just a few years. I prefer not to advocate sophisticated methods of provoking amusement and laughter. Just read my articles and go through my office comics. Somewhere you may find yourself too in one of those situations and characters who are my colleagues and accomplices. And who can say? Maybe you can laugh at yourself and can turn out to be the Duke of Desk Jokes or the Sultan of Satire!
See you next week! Till then, laugh and make others feel happier. You can of course browse through our corporate comics and amuse yourself. Share our office cartoons and comic arts with others to spread happiness.
Chucklingly Yours,
Norman & Ozi
