Things you shall do while at work...

1. Enable Microsoft Office Assistant (absolute time pass) - My Microsoft Office Assistant is a cat. It’s the cutest when it tries to shoo off a butterfly.

2. Learn a new language - I’m learning Bengali, Marathi and Malayalam (don’t ask me why, I didn’t ask my boss why either)

3. Play with colours – Open old Power point presentations and change the background, template or text box colours.

4. Non engineers should teach Engineer friends – I got my greatest kicks out of teaching one how to use Excel and that tally bars are called “Tally bars” and not “lines and one line crossing 4 other lines”.

5. Exercise – Walk up to the coffee vending machine at least 10 times a day. It really helps burn those calories (however, the extra sugar in my cup of tea/coffee does not help one bit)

6. Be heard and let your cell phone be heard too – I have now come to believe that it is impolite to keep cell phones on silent mode. Aaargh!!!

7. Ask self and sigh… and rant - Since when did a PC stop being a PERSONAL computer which is free for all to peep into and comment?


So far, this is the list I can come up with. Readers are most welcome to add.

8. Mail all friends possible when bored and hope they're just as bored.

9. Open an Agatha Christie and read it under the table :)

10. Do NOT ask friends for help when you don't know easy things on Excel. Or else be prepared to see it blogged about. Bah.

A: It's your fault that now the whole world knows that I had indeed blogged about you.

11. Go to friend's blog and comment and wait till they comment back on your own comment.

12. Open your own blog and see how many hits the site has had on that particular day or if the "comment" ticker has gone up at all. Or... Wait patiently till someone stumbles on your own blog by accident (or by diligent force) and comments on it.

Sokay that the whole world knows. I've done crazier things in front of the most embarassing groups :D

I'd so rather waste time like this rather than get haunted by The Boss.

Sniffle.
