‘A complete waste of time’

When I first cooked up this idea in 2018, my editor at the News & Record wasn’t exactly pleased that I had spent several hours — in the middle of basketball season, no less — creating silly graphics featuring Valentine’s Day jokes for ACC hoops fans. They were, as he said, “A complete waste of time.”

While I thought folks would get a kick out of them, I never expected them to become one of the most-clicked sports articles of the year.

Since transitioning into the business world, they’ve also been a hit on Linkedin, connecting with former employees, clients and friends.

Not only do they offer a quick laugh and break from the workday, they also offer your reader/visitor a chance to be a part of something with career-specific humor and inside jokes specific to their daily lives.

One man’s waste of time is another’s way of making a connection!
