Sunday Special Brunch

A lazy afternoon …no ways, it’s an energetic buzzing day like always in the illumination editorial room on slack

Smack that Slack — No ways

Seriously, don't you all consider Sunday's as lazy? Yes — you read it right. I did say “you” and never mentioned “us” because we the editorial team of Illumination and Illumination-Curated don’t have lazy Sundays. No weekend offs and no holidays, as we are all on duty on slack.

Now you would be thinking, are we forced to do it or how many hundreds of dollars are we getting? Let me tell you what we get- it’s much more than that. We get mutual respect, adoration, love and guidance from each other and that is why we don’t smack that slack. We love it and we live it.

Sunday Brunch Menu

It’s a bright morning, of course, yes at some corner in the world as I write this and maybe another corner when you read it. Whoever wakes up — I bet jumps onto slack as fast as you might be doing on WhatsApp. Popping in a Good Morning message, we mention if we are jumping into the queue to edit there and then or in a while. Then it comes to what whose having for breakfast and lunch and so on. The room soon fills up and our brunch starts. Other than talking about food, we talk chopping grammatical errors, slicing long paragraphs and even about ending on a sweet note by buttering up with jam.

Talks and Smores

We do a lot of interacting, not just with each other on the editorial channel but with the writers too on private notes. We talk and talk and talk to them some more at times and it’s always sweet talk( that’s why I’ve called it smores instead of more)even if we don’t wish to with some who sleep over our efforts. And then, it’s at those moments when we feel like pulling our hair apart, we have each other to lift us.

Choosing the Chicken

Now, this is a tough one. It’s said that the universe conspires to make like-minded people meet and I truly believe in that. At first, we each happened to crossroads with our leader and publication owner Dr Mehmet Yildiz, who as per my understanding is a perfect visionary. He carefully chooses all editors and I guess he does some sort of secretive face-reading(haha- I hope it's not true doc as I was just trying to crack a joke)because all those he puts together gel well.

Touchwood, we have never seen any voice raised or any argument happen on the channel. Thanks to him who has brought us all together and gives us each the authority and equality as one. His leadership skills are unmatchable.

Who’s the Noisiest Chicken of All

Don’t get me wrong here for using noisiest chicken as my meaning for noisy here is chirpy. With constant jitterbug on in the channel, as per time zones, each one is entertaining enough. But the meaning for that can differ and so in true entertainment manner, I shall tell you, who’s who along with their eggtastic stories. (don’t worry -it a new word I’ve made instead of fantastic as we are all chickens here and it’s about our produce)

Mr. Well-behaved — Dr Mehmet Yildiz A calm and composed human brain full of zeal, vision and passion.

Mr.Silencers — Earnest Painter, Bill Abbate, Arthur, Dr John, Paul. These are the quiet but truly meaningful ones who wait for the correct time.

Mr.Boss — B. A. Cumberlidge. , Joe Luca, The Maverick Files These chaps know their game well and even play it better than all the rest.

Mr.Entertainer — Liam Ireland A bright source of light in the editorial room who is a pleasing personality.

Ms.Sorted — Karen Madej, Aurora Eliam, CMP, Agnes Laurens , Julene These are the sorted lot who speak only when needed. Not because they don't want to be heard but because they don't believe in shouting out loud.

Ms.Perfect — Dew Langrial and Tree Langdon, CPA, CGA These two are our queens. Prim, proper and perfect, Not a word more and not even a word less. No wonder they are followed and preached.

Ms.Quiet — Lynn Dorman, PhD; J.D. CR Mandler MAT, Their silence speaks volumes and yes I mean it. They again are pros in their field and talk only when needed and their talk has weight.

Ms.Beauty’brains — Charlotte Zobeir Ali, EP McKnight, Sumera These ladies are a powerhouse of knowledge and their inherent beauty reflects their work.

Ms.Entertainer — Britni Pepper The lighthouse of illumination, who with her bright and interesting being can brighten any dull day.

Well, that was about all the most chirpy species of Smack the Slack room on a buzzing Sunday noon.

Did we forget something? Oh, Yes! About me? Where do I fit in this, I’d like you to tell.

Till then, wish you a Happy Sunday and see you again tomorrow for an “unMasking the Monday Blues”
