Off-ish in office.

3:30 PM: After clicking the Refresh button of my LOTUS Notes inbox for what seemed like the thousandth time, I decided to face the fact that I am definitely, completely and somewhat comfortably bored. Comfortably because I am in office right now and being bored doesn't seem like a bad option when you look around and see analysts working their ass off and managers desperately trying to look busy- and they do it really well I tell you, as they look so BC to me all the time.

4 PM: Went for an S break with Jan and Ran. Couldn't help thinking, an S break is not always caused by S breaking work.

6 PM: When the load of boredom started becoming unbearable in just the 5th hour of office, I decided to share it with my immediate neighbours. The 1st one gave me an offer which sounded very much like Netaji's classic "freedom for blood" offer...he asked me to share his work and he would share my boredom in exchange which i outrightly rejected and went to the next prospective victim. He welcomed me with an oh-God-not-now look which I conveniently ignored and started cracking the dumbest jokes I could imagine to which he kept flashing his monotonous is-this-the-last-one smile and soon enough I couldn't ignore it any longer and had to go for the third person who was my last hope. Seeing him completely engrossed with his work, I asked him in a deliberately kept casual voice if there is something I could help him with. If I say I was hurt by his reply, that would be an understatement. He told me to get him a calendar from somewhere and to f%^$ off once I have done that or if I am not able to do that! I told him he already has one and was about to point the damn thing out kept right in front of him when I realised it is of yesteryear. I took the calendar from him, blacked out name of the days written on top and re-wrote the new and correct ones(for every month) under it as per a 2009 calendar.

8 PM: No, I didn't have a whiskey. That guy simply didn't appreciate my innovation verbally or visually but kept the calendar anyway. This thanklessness pissed me off so greatly that I had to literally go for it. For the piss, not for the calendar.

9:30 PM: Inspired by the famous Matrix dialogue "everything that has a beginning, must have an end", I wait with Asha.

10:00 PM: End of day, end of blog. I leave with Mukti.
