And within those channels, threads, individual\/group chats, we must rise to the occasion with GIFs and memes that support our colleagues, convey our most astute reactions, and help us navigate successes and challenges. I can\u2019t speak for all of us, but I can say that I love a quality GIF reaction. And I am happy to share five that have great versatility for your consideration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">That&#8217;s What Heroes Do<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/osu-wams-blogs-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com\/blogs.dir\/2593\/files\/2024\/10\/thats-what-heroes-do.gif\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"498\" height=\"280\" src=\"https:\/\/osu-wams-blogs-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com\/blogs.dir\/2593\/files\/2024\/10\/thats-what-heroes-do.gif\" alt=\"GIF of Chris Hemsworth as Thor pointing and saying &quot;Because that's what heroes do.&quot;\" class=\"wp-image-733\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s the start of the year. Someone you know has done something awesome to kick off this new academic year! Maybe they\u2019ve found a cool new way to support students or found a new keyboard shortcut nobody knew existed. There\u2019s a GIF for that. Maybe you decided to challenge yourself and take on something new that makes you a bit nervous. Or you decided to say no to something\u2014an intentional decision to support capacity. That\u2019s what heroes do, folks. That\u2019s what heroes do.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Detective Pikachu<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/osu-wams-blogs-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com\/blogs.dir\/2593\/files\/2024\/10\/pikachu.gif\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"200\" height=\"200\" src=\"https:\/\/osu-wams-blogs-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com\/blogs.dir\/2593\/files\/2024\/10\/pikachu.gif\" alt=\"GIF of Pikachu in a detective hat holding a magnifying glass up to his eye\" class=\"wp-image-759\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Has someone ever asked you a Drupal 10 question, and you\u2019ve no idea of the answer, but you suddenly feel a sense of (potentially misplaced) confidence in figuring it out? Or: have you or a colleague ever asked each other what something on your to-do list might mean\u2014Past You had an intention, but Current You is now crowd sourcing for meaning? (Note: if nobody knows what it means, you get to cross it off your list). Or have you or someone else ever misplaced a common office item (an HDMI adapter, stapler, icebreaker cards, etc.)? If you answered yes to any of these questions, Detective Pikachu may be the GIF for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Star Trek Fist Bump<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/osu-wams-blogs-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com\/blogs.dir\/2593\/files\/2024\/10\/highfive.gif\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"350\" height=\"269\" src=\"https:\/\/osu-wams-blogs-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com\/blogs.dir\/2593\/files\/2024\/10\/highfive.gif\" alt=\"GIF of Zachary Quinto and Chris Pine high fiving and fist bumping.\" class=\"wp-image-760\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>You do good work. Your colleagues do good work. You accomplish cool things together. In short, you rock. Channel your inner media tour Kirk and Spock with this GIF of Zachary Quinto and Chris Pine high fiving and fist bumping.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Elmo Falls<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/osu-wams-blogs-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com\/blogs.dir\/2593\/files\/2024\/10\/elmofalls.gif\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"498\" height=\"498\" src=\"https:\/\/osu-wams-blogs-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com\/blogs.dir\/2593\/files\/2024\/10\/elmofalls.gif\" alt=\"GIF of Elmo falling over\" class=\"wp-image-761\" style=\"width:309px;height:auto\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Accidentally schedule yourself to facilitate 5-7 different meetings, workshops, or presentations in a single week? Elmo falls. Just realize November is next week? Elmo falls. Read that conference proposal you had accepted three months ago and now have to actually plan it out? Elmo falls. Snow in April? Elmo falls.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">So It Begins<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/osu-wams-blogs-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com\/blogs.dir\/2593\/files\/2024\/10\/soitbegins-1.gif\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"220\" height=\"90\" src=\"https:\/\/osu-wams-blogs-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com\/blogs.dir\/2593\/files\/2024\/10\/soitbegins-1.gif\" alt=\"GIF of Th\u00e9oden King standing in the rain with two men saying &quot;So it begins&quot;\" class=\"wp-image-763\" style=\"width:352px;height:auto\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Make work epic. The Horn of Helm Hammerhand will sound in the Deep one last time. And you will accomplish that amazing plan you\u2019ve put together. And you will rock that new role\/leadership opportunity. You will finally hold that hour to recycle excess paper or get documents in the shredding bin. Does this GIF have a bit of an ominous tone? Sure, but you can lean into that or ignore it. I used it today when sharing that I saw eggnog on store shelves last weekend [insert shrugging Elmo gif here]. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What memes or GIFS show up the most in your work or Teams communication? Reply here or send me a Teams message (coffeym) with a GIF you love! Whether we know each other or not, I will be delighted and happily respond.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Office of Academic Support team communicates on MS Teams a lot.
