From hardly working to working hard…..that pretty much sums up my situation at present.
Whats worse, the Manager has started coming to work on time thus curtailing all my extra-curricular activities.
Workplace is no longer an escape from reality or a place where I could catch up with my friends on the phone or net.
p.s - Nope, not ready to give up blogging.....just yet. But I'll will have to stretch my imagination a bit:-D. Any ideas, anyone?

That sucks..i hope the number of posts wont reduce.
ReplyDeleteyou know you could write it down and quickly type it out whenever you get a chance.
I used to feel exactly this at a previous workplace. Infact, when I was asked to work, I used to get pissed. What did they think, I went there to work??? :D Infact I used to do overtime to actually finish the work!!
ReplyDeleteU could get in earlier or stay a bit late or cut back on lunch time. Or just keep an official file open and quickly close the blog page as someone approaches. A strategic seating arrangement will also do fine. The kind where u have ur back to the wall and can scan the entire office from where u sit!!!
sunshine: the way it is going here there, thats exactly what I'm afraid of:-(
ReplyDeletebins: yep, they r useful suggestions tho I'm already doing 2of the 3.
Actually I dont mind the work, it is the fact that these guys have taken to sitting in the office always which is getting to me:-p
Oh..poor you... are they in office because of the general summer slack that is going on now? If so, then just stay patient for another 1.5 months, I'd say! :) Writing it down and typing it up quickly is one way...but better still, get a laptop and internet connection and start logging in from home!
ReplyDeleteoh thats bad!!
ReplyDeleteWrite soem tag just for heck of it.. create new ones :D
:) ,there are such times.just relax ,take a deep breath ,take a break on a weekend or go to the beach ,forget about everything for a day,take your attention off your manager :)
ReplyDeleteWannabe: My office is or rather was my recreation centre. I have the laptop, the internet connection, everything at home except the TIME.
ReplyDeleteWinnie: I have a feeling u misunderstood:-P
Stalag Sukhoi: Good Idea but my blog suffers:-P
well!! i can totally empathise.. so is the case with me these days.. AND blogger is blocked at work, can u beat that.. n if u think things cudnt get worse, i am busy being a "good bahu" to my inlaws these days :/
ReplyDeletehow could managers do this? don't they have any work ethics;-) i hope you won't reduce your posts. you have a style of your own and love the totally relevant little pics that you put up with your posts. puzzler: how did the K's get replaced back to the C's?
ReplyDeleteISH: Blogger blocked.....Sheeesh tragedy ya:-O. Gosh I'm already feeling better.
ReplyDeleteI assume u r talking abt inlaws who r visiting for 1-2 months. I lived with mine for more than 8 yrs here before they left for good last november.
But I know u r putting up ur Best Bahu impressions & doing a good job:-D
Lan: "How could managers do this? don't they have any work ethics;-)"
Aaaah ur words are like balm to my tired soul. And compliments...that too early in the morning, u have rejuvenated me....
One post coming up in the next 1 hr.
And yeah, all the K's suddenly reminded me of Karan Johar & Ekta Kapoor....so the sudden drastic change:-P
Reflections - even if you don't watch Hindi soaps, there's still too much of Ektaaaaarghhh Kapoor around, so yeah, the blog's much much better without them K's.... :)
ReplyDeleteShalom: Actually I never realised the K connection until a month back & once I did I felt soo sidey:-P. And hurriedly did the switch, all the time wondering why I used K in the first place.
ReplyDeleteAwww, you said "sidey"....that's my sister's favourite word (its a different thing she uses it to describe me most of the time :D)....I miss her now :(
ReplyDeleteGosh really, sidey used to be one of my 'most used words'. Just ask my sister:-P.
