Remember kids: don’t try the internet in real life
Matt Hawkins Also: your bosses probably don’t get internet humor. But more importantly, don’t screw around at work and tell the whole world, okay?
So you know about planking, right? Well what might be cool at a trade show is not cool at work. Here we have John Mazzocchi, getting in on the fun at work…
