A Sense of Humor

The people at AB-Soft are very professional when it comes to business application and IP telephony but to keep the creativity flowing, they also love to have a great time and a couple good laughs. This is one of the articles that they found and decided to share:

"How to Read an Internet Article:

1) Step one: tweet the article.
2) Okay, time to dive in. But first things first: scroll down to the Comments section and leave a comment or two. Be sure to point out any grammatical mistakes other people make.
3) Let's do this thing. Scan the headline and byline. Suddenly you feel VERY EXCITED/VERY ANGRY. Let Twitter know.
4) Before you forget, email the link to your Liberal/Conservative/Fun/Mean uncle who agrees/disagrees with you on everything. The subject line could read: "Thought of you" but there should be no text in the email body. Just a link. CC 12 members of your extended family and two old college buddies.
5) Can you believe this article? Quickly copy and paste the last sentence of the piece and share it on Facebook without quotation marks, so it's unclear if you wrote it yourself. Neither confirm nor deny this. No time for that.
6) "Like" the article you just shared on Facebook.
7) If no one has replied yet to the email you sent, maybe it didn't go through. Reply-all with the same link.
8) Someone just responded to your Facebook post: "These aren't you're own words." Defend yourself by immediately correcting them: "It's your* not you're."
9) Take a screenshot of the Facebook interaction and Instagram it. For a caption, use #FactsOnly or any series of five emojis.
10) This article is really firing you up. Cool off with a coconut water.
11) Your comments are still pending. Email the site moderator a couple of times.
12) You're getting a bit hungry. Click a link on the right-hand rail about the health benefits of olive oil. Open it up in a tab for later.
13) Okay, time to rock this article. But you better quickly tweet about the olive oil piece. You should probably email it, too. Your mom's gonna love that one."

Now I know that you are smiling and getting back to work after that wonderful distraction.

  1. You cant tell a persons sense of humor through texts and voicemails. Too impersonal.

  2. Voice mails give you more details about a person than a text or email.

  3. I think an email or a text doesn't relay a truth about a persons intent. Voice mails offer more.

  4. No phone service like an email can give you any real information about what a person really is like.
