Every so often something comes through your inbox that seems too good to be true.

It’s mostly seen as a necessary evil that serves to notify the new recruits of everything that they need to be aware of when they first start working for a company. It doesn’t have to be this way, and it shouldn’t be this way. Technology has come a long way, and new employee training software is here to make training programs easier to create and learn from.

Like most people I hate going to the dentist. So much so, that I’ve even debated an extreme approach: trying to avoid going at all until stem cell technology capable of regrowing teeth goes mainstream. After all, why sit through a painful root canal now when I could just wait out a pain free approach that’s right around the corner. Well, as it turns out I may not have to wait that long.

Studies show that a sense of humor can make you mentally and physically healthier, make you more.
