Factoring in work at the Factory

You know the feeling when you have so much work that you can't seem to look out at the rest of your life beyond all those files? Well, I dont! Ever since I came as a Marketing Management trainee to a factory to enhance my learning! Work is a luxury I don't have. Not yet atleast, and I also know that if my good friend Murphy is working well, I'll be dumped upon with some data entering challenge before I finish writing this blog :)

The good thing about being work deprived it is that you can devote all the time on hand to other things. These can be divided into 5 clear categories:

Socializing: Chatting, Email, Orkutting

Narcissistic Indulgence: Changing 'orkut photo', 'Updating orkut album' 'passions', 'about me', 'my best feature', updating birth date on orkut 3 days before your birthday to initiate greater scrap inflow

Creative Expressions: 'Sending scrapes to make new frands', Blogging

Escapades: Planning trips away from this jobless blackhole basis the best offers cleartrip can offer

Knowledge Attainment: Growth in this quarter for my company (it's doing great, maybe it's just as well I dont get any work), Checking out latest scoops on Abhi-Ash and the Shahid-Kareena-Saif trisome

Bullshit: Checking love compatibility with latest crush

So here's how a regular day will go for me:

• Walk in. Log on.
• Get coffee.
• Open two windows, gmail and orkut, check scraps, check mail. Zilch.
• Stare at the pages for long enough till a mail or scrap appears. Reply immediately.
• Don't even bother opening your official mailbox cause the only mails that appear there are system generated.
• Catch up on news. Catch up on gossip columns.
• Look around. Nope, looks like no work today too.
• Check orkut updates. Oooh someone has a new passion. Exxcittting!!
• Check albums of guys you like, guys you liked, guy your friends like.
• Log out of orkut, Log in 10 minutes later to see if there's a new scrap.
• Write 5 lines on the fantastic new idea you have for your next post, delete the last two lines. Nope, won't work.
• Go tell your HR manager you want work. He says he'll look into it. Walk back to your desk.
• Call your equally jobless management trainee friend and tell her you got a new hairdo. Listen to her say, she got a new hairdo AND lost 3 more kgs, bought new clothes, shoes AND finally has work. Disconnect
• Lunch Time. Gorge.
• Back from lunch. Read some genuine informative stuff out of sheer guilt.
• The person who orginally owns the desk has returned. Get up leave and pray for the day to get over!
  

That's what's happened just now!! Gotta go :)
