Around three years back when I started my first job, I was an enthusiastic B-School pass out with dreams in my eyes and passion to work and grow in the corporate world. I used to be immersed in work. I changed organization and work fascinated me more. Some times I would just wish and hope that there were no work to do for a few days. It would be so relaxing, I could do so many things, starting with leaving office at sharp 1800 hrs!
I am pretty sure, a lot of the working class feels and wishes and hopes the same. And people, my wish has just come true recently. For the first few months in my current role, I was nose-deep in work. Even working on Sundays, travelling all across Punjab. I must admit that I enjoyed it but silently dreamed of lazing around in office. Recently, my prayers of those days have been answered. For the first few days I enjoyed going to office at 10.30 am, having my cup of coffee, checking e-mails, searching the www for some updates. Gossiping with the team members came next, followed by wishing the Birthday Babies. And, then its time for lunch, followed by another gossip session. A little work to justify my employer transferring money into my bank account every month. But overall a very sarkaari kind of workstyle. I would leave at dot 1801.Wow, how relaxed I felt!
Those of you getting jealous and letting go off your envy full throttle, HAULT! It is not as rosy as it appears to be. Believe me, after a week of this work life you will do anything to get work! Getting paid for doing nothing is not as easy as it seems. The mind starts to rust. How many cups of coffee/tea will you drink in a day? How much gossip will you do with others over days and days? How many hours of wilfing can you bear?
I am still an ambitious worker in a big corporate with big dreams, but having no work at work is a pain in the wrong place! And, it is extremely difficult to bear it. Those who can relate to this scenario, and looking out for remedies, be a little more patient. Soon, I shall be an expert at guding how to cruise through the difficult times.

I can totally identify with this... 'busy nothingness', I call it!
