Thoughts Unleashed

If you are sitting in the pantry of an IT Co, this is what you hear most of the times..which might be due to the fact that pantry is flooded mostly with junta who is out of work...In our industry we have lull periods of inactivity where we are simply waiting for clients to freeze and send the requirements or sometimes for new assignments to arrive..this might take a week, a month or month(s) together..So what do most people do during such times?

1. Become champions of all the possible games provided by the company. Most popular being TT, chess and pool.
2. Read all the newspapers kept in the pantry ranging from Times of India to any magazine which you might have never heard of earlier..and mind it, this is read word by word...you can ask the page nos too :D
3. Take a power nap in the afternoon if they stay close by to the office premises..
4. Earn lots of money through online trading. This applies to fewer ppl.
5. Conduct meeting throughout the day to discuss about work which has no timeline. This is a more official and polished way of doing time pass.
6. Play games online. I have seen some real good games in excel sheet for all the poor souls who do no have internet access at work.
7. Form a group of idle people and bitch about the company, people and most importantly managers.
8. Eat the whole day if your company provides a great cafeteria to reduce attrition to some extent.
9. For sincere people, they dont like wasting time. So they go through all the possible training courses online.
10. And last but not the least, sit in the pantry and have coffee, lemon tea, ginger tea and all possible beverages which the coffee machine offers .

Such people are frustrated coz they dont have work whereas there are people who are slogging their a**** out and want to be at this side of the story.
As we all say, "GRASS IS ALWAYS GREENER ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE FENCE!"

PS: Do let me know if you have any more ideas to pass your time at work :)
