She should have just used emojis.
If a friend ever texted you a joke, did you smile? Laugh? Laugh hard? Laugh so hard that you were crying? Maybe you got confused because you didn’t understand it, or were startled by their subject matter. It’s weird to type out “I’m rolling my eyes at you,” but a single emoji gets that across loud and clear.
I use emojis a lot in my emails and texts, because I want to be sure the recipient gets context. Sure, I could write a paragraph to explain it, but who has time for that? They’re also a great way to acknowledge someone’s communication without getting involved in a long conversation. A simple thumb's up will do.
July 17 is World Emoji Day, so celebrate these little shortcuts with a new emoji mug!
1. You’re the Best
I enjoy spending time with you, and not just because you make good coffee.
2. Laid Back
Got a fresh cup, no stress, and all is right with the world.
3. See What I Did There?
I use this one a lot, because I enjoy irony and sarcasm.
4. I Think I Love You
Maybe just because you brewed a fresh pot. Maybe for other reasons.
5. Yay!
I’m here, you’re here, the coffee is here… This is great!
6. J/K
Don’t take anything I’m saying seriously; it’s one of those moods.
7. Oh No
What do you mean there’s no more coffee?
8. Who Me?
I didn’t take the last cup, I swear.
9. I’m Dying Over Here!
Sometimes things are so funny, or so ridiculous, that all you can do is ROFLMA.
10. Despair
The coffee break is over and now I have to get back to work.
