It’s What We Do
by Donna Cooper, Jr. Copywriter
Ever notice how when you share an office with a person, or three, everyone starts to feed of each other? Wondering what I mean? Of Course, you are.
It just so happens that I share an office with three other people. We are considered the “creatives,” which means that there is a fragile coexistence than can be shattered at the slightest upset of order and harmony. Not really, but it was fun to say. But, something peculiar happens in the office from time to time that I find quite amusing.
Every so often one inhabitant of the office will make a joke or a comment, and the others immediately pounce on it and give it a life of its own. What is even funnier is what sometimes happens when an outsider (non-creative) passes by our office and makes a comment. The creatives all respond, simultaneously, with the same sarcastic remark.
This type of synchronization, and ability to play off of each other’s jokes, is what helps maintain the symbiotic relationship that is so important, and so rare, in an office environment. As odd as it is, it’s how we roll!

glad to know what the laughter coming out of there is from after I leave the office.
