Q. My company publishes a monthly employee newsletter. My boss asked me to write a funny quiz. I`m not exactly a stand-up comic. Help!
A. Ah, the funny quiz. Lucky you! It`s not often that a company has an official sense of humor that they are willing to display for all to read. This is going to be a great assignment for you!
A funny quiz is typically one where the questions and answers have no real purpose other than to make the quiz taker laugh. Although almost anything goes, there are some taboo subjects. Off hand I`d say that anything that pokes fun at a specific person, or groups of people, as well as anything that`s anti-semitic, racial, sexual, political, or religious should be off limits. Remember, what one person thinks is funny can offend someone else. Even seemingly innocuous subjeccts like "hillbilly" or "redneck" jokes might not be funny to someone who lives in the mountains or the deep South (like I do).
Presentation BindersSome people choose to escape the every day grind of real life by watching a film, playing a computer game or drinking a bottle of wine with friends. Many people like me have a passion for writing; it is a way of expressing ourselves, passing the time and using our imagination. I have never considered having any of my work published, but I have used
Presentation Binders for the pieces of work that I am especially proud of.
Presentation Binders ensure that all the pages are held together in the correct order and I can keep them in an organised fashion rather than looking at them years later and becoming confused by the plot. Also wherever I store them due to the plastic covering they would be more likely to survive any damp that might occur. Obviously if I was going to send my work to a publisher if I used
Presentation Binders, they would be more likely to take my work seriously and therefore bother to read it. If the pages were screwed up in the post because they had nothing to protect them, then no doubt my work would simply end up in the bin!
Gap YearI didn`t take a
Gap Year whilst I was at university but looking back it might have been a good option. I`ve spoken to numerous students who have benefited by taking a break from their studies by going over to foreign shores to help people in need. There are a number of projects running at the moment and students can become volunteers during their
Gap Year to help out with the worthy causes. The time spent on the project can be eye-opening an
Air ConditionerAir Conditioners are the best cooling appliances, as they are designed to extract heat from your room, office, etc. However, even tough they have more cooling capabilities than fans and evaporative coolers, they are more expensive to purchase, install and maintain. Moreover, installation is also limited in order for it to function properly.
Air Conditioners are available in a variety of shapes and sizes, to cope with a diversity of needs of our customers. Some
Air Conditioners even have heat pumps and can also serve as good heaters during the winter season, and they increase property value as well. Installation of
Air Conditioners may require special techniques in order to utilize them properly.
