		Getting Into the Swing of Things at Work

	I love sharing creative examples of businesses that stand out with their use of humor as inspiration for all of us to be more human and connect with our customers and colleagues in creative, fun ways. This email response from The Hammock Universe was passed along by my friend Patricia Katz: Dear Patricia, Your order is on the way! In a galaxy far, far away… Your order has been gently taken by the Relaxation Engineers from the Hammock Universe shelves with soft, velvet gloves and placed into a Mother Ship headed for Earth. A team of 10 intergalactic minions inspected your product and polished it to make sure it was in the best possible condition before shipping. Our packing specialist, Bob, received your order in a starry desert. He lit a candle, and a hush fell over the crowd as he put your product into the finest FedEx box that money can buy. We all had a parade afterward and the whole terrestrial Hammock Universe team hiked up to a mountaintop post office and waved “Bon Voyage!” to your box, on its way to you, in the next days. I hope you had a great experience shopping at Hammock Universe. We sure did. Your picture is on our wall as “Customer of the Month”. We’re all exhausted but can’t wait for you to come back to Hammock Universe! Thank you, Simon, Relaxer in Chief
