So because I would feel guilty if I was not in the office, and my boss would surely look for me, I thought that the best option would be to sit and browse. the good thing about this is that i look Very busy and serious to the casual observer. While at it, i decided to observe my colleagues and see how they are coping. In the last two hours I have observed the following; (thanks to open plan offices)
- Musa is constantly having a 'private' sign communication with my bosses secretary (at intervals of like 5 minutes)
- Gerald is busy on email but most of it forward with clips and pictures that seem to have nothing to do with either our departments or the companys business.
- Michael is on phone - and i can tell its with the tea girl (surprises me why he cant go to the kitchen and talk to her instead of engaging the intercom) and scratching his balls.
- The boss checks in and goes through the dailies for 1.5hrs
- Liz is busy chatting with someone on the net
It actaully turning out to be a very interesting day.
Anyone with more ideas of how to 'kill those hours when work is simply not possible?' - and am not in the category that can get out and have a round of Golf.
