Thank you ladies! And Eileen, as a person who enjoys the political incorrectness and awkwardness of “The Office,” I will enjoy your book. I’ll send you a note when I finish it. Perfect fit for me. Cheers. C.

Chrysty,
You’re right on with this observation! I, too, love to laugh, not only during work but actually AT the ridiculousness of office politics and regulations. In fact, I recently wrote a book entitled “Welcome to the Company (or what it’s really like working here).” It’s a mock employee handbook that satirizes many of the situations and frustrations that so often lead to chronic stress. You’ll see it on Amazon.com, if you’re interested…and if you’re looking for something to spur on your high-noon laughter. Keep smiling!

Great addition to the practice. Laughing alone only makes people think you’re more nuts than you probably are. Cheers!

I couldn’t agree more. Laughter is great for us, it lightens the mood, and just makes everything that much easier on all of us. I would pick someone I can laugh with too, because it’s a great way to connect with someone.

Touching…thank you for sharing. You often wonder if what you write resonates with anyone. I hope I die of laughter. I truly do.

Delightful suggestions. I’ll have to remember this in my business, my writing, and when I’m job interviewing. As a side note, I also found laughter got my mom, hubby and me through the days of caring for Mother during her Alzheimer’s journey.

“We don’t laugh enough,” Mother once remarked, when Jim and I were chuckling over some antic of hers.

I realized Mother enjoyed the laughter, needed the laughter as we did, whether she knew what she was laughing about or not.
