Good Mornings and Good Afternoons

Have you ever left office in between on a working day to go back home or some other place? You will find things around you so different from your daily life at this time. Last week, I took a half day from office to celebrate my birthday with friends. I find the whole life around me so different from my daily routine. People were relaxing in the parks. Delhi Metro is almost empty and people were walking lazily to enter the metro. There is nobody in the metro parking, so many cars stationing in the parking lot.

If you compare this with your daily routine, you will find it difficult to absorb. How can people be so different in their attitude from the morning as compare to this time? Even their behavior is different now. Metro is crowded and people walking very fast on roads, at metro stations. Nobody has time to even talk or think. So many cars on the road, their horns in the loudest volume. But at this time all are relaxed. In the morning the metro coach which was suffocating like anything now giving you fresh air. You can think about new ideas at this time but not in the morning.

I have observed people in their happy moods at this time as compared to morning moods where one must be thinking about office. I mean the whole thing is so different that I wish what I am doing daily is total waste and missing something which these people are enjoying.

General Thoughts in my Mind - A drafted note

This has been in my draft for quite some time now. I think I should post it.

No matter how busy you are, you always have some general thinking going on in your mind. I have listed few of my things which I generally think about.

Office - Yes, I think about office before family.
Appraisal - If you have joined some office, this is certainly occupies your mind most of the time and it has occupied mine as well.
Family - I know I am not giving much time here. What do I think of myself?
Future - Where I will be 2-3 years from now? Though I always think of the long term perspective, but right now I am thinking about next year.
Finance - Ya need to manage my expenses. Lately I have not been able to save much. Also looking out for some investments.
Cricket - Can I concentrate anywhere else? Specially when the team is playing like Bangladesh.

Lucky Day

I travel to office by a cab in which there are 6 other members. Today in the morning, I received a call from one of my colleague, that he is going to pick me up from my place to office in his car. I said ok and informed my cab members that I won't be coming in the cab today.




When I reached office, I was informed that the cab's Tyre got punctured from which I come to office and these guys reached office 2 hours late because the bolt of the tyre got stuck. These are the small things which make you feel lucky. Thank You God!! (Though still feeling for my cab members).

Getting bored in office?

I just come across a mail where some interesting ideas are given to pass your time in office, when getting bored. Here are they:

1. Form a detective agency to find out who is quitting
next.
2. Make blank calls to your Boss.
3. Count your fingers (and toes if you get bored).
4. Rearrange the furniture, i.e. flick someone else
chair just to irritate him/her.
5. Send mails from ms-mail to your internet mail (and
immediately get to the internet and see who reaches
first, you or your mail?) and read them there, and
note down the time they take to reach there.
6. Watch other people changing their facial
expressions while working and try changing your
expressions also.
7. Try to stretch status meetings as longer as
possible, just by asking silly doubts.
8. Have work breaks in between tea.
9. Have a two hour lunch; it's a big social occasion.
10. Read jokes and send jokes.
11. Revise last week's newspaper.
12. Hold "How fast my computer boots" competitions.
13. Practice aiming the coffee cup into the dustbin.
14. Compile "How to waste your day"
15. Pick up phone and dial non existing no.s
16. Make faces at strangers in office.
17. Count maximum no of applications your computer can
open at a time.
18. For Win NT/95 users....Move things to Recycle bin
and restore them.. Then repeat this process.
19. Look at someone & try to imagine how(s) he might
have looked when(s) he was 5 years old.
20. Learn to whistle.
21. Make full use of the comfortable chair and table
provided and take a nap.
