No office? No problem. Master your virtual work existence with GIFs, the most efficient form of business communication.
You can’t throw your hands up and do a crab dance to physically show your coworkers the exuberance and level of absurdity you’re willing to endure to support their cause. And you might not have the time and energy to type out an elaborate message detailing the nuanced emotion you’re feeling.
Fear not. It's the almighty GIF to the rescue. Include some of these in your next email, text or carrier pigeon to convey what cannot be put into words.
Let’s Start With Something All Waking Adults Support Wholeheartedly
