It all started as usual morning..opened my eyes to see the time…fish($#&@) it’s 8am and I have to catch the bus at 8:30am…late as usual…
the last one to get up in the morning…feels like kicking my roomie’s ass…y the hell can’t he wake me up in the morning??…
Without saying a word to anyone I brushed my teeth and did a quick polishing only to remember I have to iron the clothes…rushed the iron through my clothes and I see my roomies leaving for the bus…bang varu, u are late again…
Ran to the bus stand to catch the bus and I see everybody waiting…and I was relieved to see that I didn’t miss my bus…It wasn’t a bad start afterall..
So starts my day:
8:40am: my bus arrives, I take the last seat and again time for some nap..
Pune traffic!!!-- cannot reach before 9:20am to office…and when it comes to sleeping I don’t miss a chance…how much I love doing it…u bet I am best in this job…
9:20am: I reached office as usual. Or was it only 9:10?? Unusually usual!!!
Booted my computer, Tried to open my igoogle home page to read my horoscope, (that’s the first thing I do)…but the server was down. Damn..
Okay forget it…
Next thing… I thought of checking my mails…. but fish (#$%^)!!!??!!
my account just wouldn’t open…
so here, I was helpless, sitting in front of the computer unable to do anything…
Was it for this that I got up early today (8 am is early by Indian standard times!!) and rushed to office…???
Raised some requisitions (zzzz yawn zz) and went up to cafeteria for breakfast…
came back to see no progress in the situation…
made a few calls to the help desk and finally my account was unlocked and then the flow of mails started… (peace…!!)
but darling!! The server which could help me serve my clients was still on hibernation. I was still not able to do anywork….
Some said time to celebrate…
and I nodded…
but soon I realized I had work to complete…. (duh –uh)
and without the server I was helpless…
work will be pending… but dekh lenge yaar…
so I joined in the bakar sessions…
read some e-paper...
Took extra breaks than usual… (just 5 more than the usual 5)
mailed and e-mailed and sent mails…(luckily this worked!!!)
and then what??…
I was getting bored doing nothing…and what struck me was my desktop background
It said, “Doing nothing is very hard to do…you never know when you are finished”
I thought- how true!!…
(Ting tong) -Time to write some crap…
so came into life this post about ‘doing nothing’…
So the big question is ‘for how long can one sit and do nothing….?’
I know the answer!! (:D)
I wonder how do people, who sit on bench for months doing nothing, survive…
I mean, I would have gone crazy!!!….
But I guess it’s all about increasing productivity even when you have nothing to do…
Look!! 1 and ½ years in IT and I speak IT…
What next????
Ummm….timelog!!!

idle mind is not at all devil's workshop. it is varu's blogging spree. I hope you get frequent breaks, so that u can stop by and oblige people like me, who like reading ur blog posts.
BTW, the description of a day at office is simply perfect!! even though u got up late, i guess u got up early... and ended up writing this post!!
good effort!! keep it up!!

I would appreciate if ur blogs are informative and create some awareness for the readers
