It sounds like your work magazine will get a new lighter touch, and you will have some fun too. As for talking about work in a work magazine, I agree that it has its boredom threshhold: At lunch time in work, I have always insisted that before anyone at the table starts talking about work, I'd rather we chatted nicely about politics, religion or sex.

I hope your training is fun and interesting. I think it's a great idea to try and liven up corporate journalism: the restrictions being a, the serious subject matter and b, people who take themselves seriously. At one corporate magazine where I worked, the editor was very keen on lively language even to the point of punning. Sometimes it worked, sometimes it didn't, but we had fun while writing, which I think came across in the publication. Can you get SAP to take themselves less seriously? Playboy!
