Office funnies

For the past month our Happiness HELPS theme was play and I think I got more than my fair share of it. You see, I am currently sharing my office (my very, very small office) with two male colleagues, who have what people may refer to as “playful” personalities. Others may call it being immature, but that is not what I am going to call it (or at least not on this blog). So during the past month I have been played the fool, played the butt of the joke, played along, was played music to and also just simply played.

Playing is super fun I have to admit, but having these two constantly being busy plotting their next prank or laughing out loud about their play on words is very distracting…..no really, VERY.

However, today I just realized once again how blessed I am to have these two in my ‘office life’ as they take helping others (or me) to the next level.

After coming back from leave my plate has just gotten very full very fast. It seems like I just can’t get everything done on time. So my two super-heroes stepped in to help.

During the past week between the two of them I had an ear to listen to my ramblings, someone to help out with a group when I desperately needed to finish my stats, helping out with a blog post or two, a few smiles to just help lighten the day, a few jokes to just get me off my anxiety horse and of course the occasional joking insult so that I don’t take myself too seriously.

I have written many blogs on how helping others is great for mental wellbeing and encourage people to do it. Therefore, I am truly blessed to tell you from the receiving end it makes a HUGE difference. So keep up helping others.

Thanks you two nincompoops
