Yaaaaaawn....

Well.. well.... I am writing this post for no apparent reason. Not that all my earlier posts were written with some reason in mind, but this particular post is probably gonna be worst post of my life till now, so if u have any better things to do, just go ahead and do it, do not bother to waste your time here.

Really... I mean anyway Friday is the most difficult day to spend in office, right from the morning you have this weekend mood waiting to jump on your head, and all you want is to spend those 8/9 hours of office asap. Considering my friday productivity-at-work (that's one word), I did very impressive in the first half of the day. I replied to most of the important mails, ran some processes that i was supposed to, fixed some bugs in the programs i was working on, and resolved queries of my colleagues/business partners, and filled my timesheet for the day and last two weeks. Isn't that impressive? you bet that is. So after all this hard work, we (my team) decided to go out for lunch, like we do every friday, 'coz after 4 consecutive days of canteen food, we hate to even look towards the office canteen. So where was I? oh yes, i was going out for lunch with my team, so that's what we all did, and had some great kebabs and lot more. Since we didn't have to pay the bill for today's lunch, as one of the team member who had recently got promoted was treating us, we ate even more.. right from appetizers, to soft drinks (no hard drinks in office hours, we are all professionals you see), to more appetizers, to another mocktail, to main course, to deserts.... till the big BURP.

That was it... the big BURP was signalling the end of good times, nah not that we didn't have enough money and were made to wash the plates at restaurant.. that did not happen, thanks to the credit card industry that I work for. Credit card i believe is the best invention of our times, it has become part of our lifestyles. "Some people earn for a living, but I earn for paying my card bills." Now that was my statement for the day. Coming back to the 'end of good times' that i initially started with, IT was end of good times because after having filled my tummy with such wonderful food all I wanted to do was stretch my legs and arms, fall flat and go to sleep.

Magar yeh ho na saka... Magar yeh ho na saka, aur ab yeh aalam hai ki.... zzzzz....

Remember it was just a stretched lunch break between work hours, so we had to come back to work. Tooo Bad!!! Right now at this very moment if there is one thing which i want the most, it is my desire to sleeeeeeep. My Garfieldness wants to take over, but this bloody sense of work place ethics doesn't allow me to do so. My eyes are half shut, my tummy is full, i have no capacity of thinking about the analysis or the goddamn code that i've to write, I am yawning. It indeed is a bad time. I look at the time on the bottom right corner of my comp screen, then i look the same time in my mobile, then i look at the telephone instrument on my desk, it shows time too.. well the time on this instrument is 2 minutes ahead. Wow!!! i can save 2 minutes of being in office if I go by this time. (Just in case you've noticed I did not mention my wrist watch, and that is because from more than a year now I have stopped wearing one. The old one that i have needs a battery replacement, and I am too lazy to do that, also I have been thinking of buying a new watch, and the Tag Huer one, which i like the most is too damn costly, so you see it's getting delayed) However even if I go by this time, there are still 43 minutes before I can shut down my PC, and say bye-bye to office.

Now if i can't do any other thing being in office, what's the easiest thing that I can i do, without being bothered about anything.. anybody??? No prizes to guess, its BlOgGiNg. And that is why I am writing this post, to kill some time. This is the very reason I warned you all not to read this bored post. Still if you have actually read this post till here, you have very good patience, and you are my true blog-friend. I love you a lot for reading this post. Please say "I still love you and your blog" in the comments, if you have reached here. This way i'll know my friends of all (good/bad) times.

God Bless! Happy Weekend!!

I do know what it feels like when you wanna sleep, but can't!! I've been in countless boring classes and had to use all my willpower to not let my eyes close!! It's another matter that I've rarely succeeded!! :D
