  • How to not completely lose your mind when you have absolutely nothing to do at work?

    How to not completely lose your mind when you have absolutely nothing to do at work?

    If you’re reading this, I’m going to assume that you actually have nothing to do at work and don’t think we’re sailing in the same boat, well, at least not right now. But we have all been there, and we know how f*cking boring it can get when you have absolutely nothing to do at work. It’s even worse when the boredom crawls up to your head and you’d do the weirdest things to entertain yourself. And being a little too honest, there are some things you don’t want to get caught while you’re in action (no, you don’t want to be doing ‘all that’ at your work place? Have some self-respect). The things I’m talking about are crazy, weird and funny (maybe just the people who do it) and I won’t lie, can land you in awkward situations.

    So here’s your guide on how not to lose your mind when you have absolutely nothing to do at work.

     

    #1 Hit the basics, start with some good music

    So, you did your part of the work and are waiting on the next thing so you can get shit done but being the lucky arse you are, there’s not much work today for you. It has been a while and you’re starting to get bored, this is all you’ve got to do, plug in the earphones and leave your playlist on, sit back and chill. But make sure you have your eyes everywhere because your colleagues might not be as lucky as you are and we all know what jealousy is capable of. Remember, don’t let them come in your way; you turn up the volume and chill like you’re the boss! (Word of advice: don’t do that when the real boss is around)

    #2 Sing along but don’t lose yourself into it

    Keep this in mind, you’re at your work place and not at the auditions for Indian Idol, calm those ti*s of yours. But if ever it happens and you know you’ve put yourself in an awkward situation, just ask your colleagues to join in and sing along. It works because; tried and tested. AND not ashamed of it.

    #3 Hello, YouTube!

    You know it; YouTube is that friend that comes to rescue when boredom is bullying you. And most of the time he saves you. Other times, well, let’s put it this way that you want to close the YouTube tab and punch your computer screen because all of a sudden there’s not one video on YouTube that can entertain you. Seriously, how long can you watch cat videos for? But I say, keep on looking friend! You’ll find something.

    #4 Take a walk, no, seriously, take a walk!

    Why the hell not? You’re bored anyway. YouTube has got nothing for you and you’re done with music too. What’s the harm in taking a walk? And if you don’t want to go alone, just ask someone to come along! There’s always that one person who is up for anything even if he’s buried under work. Pretty sure, he/she can take a walk with you.

    #5 Burn your lungs out

    Not that you’re going to listen to me if I say don’t smoke. So, now that you’re going to take a walk, might as well, turn it into a smoke break. It helps kill time and kill you. But you’re fine with that so how does it matter?

    #6 When was the last time you visited your colleague at their desk?

    Now, I have no idea how the working environment is on your side, but when I have nothing to work on and I’ve had enough, I make sure my colleagues know what I’m going through. So, you see them at their desk and you do what you can do so they feel as annoyed as you are. They need to know how it feels.

    #7 A prank, because you can’t remember the last time you pulled one off!

    Pranks are fun; they can make your day or can make you jobless. It completely depends on what level you’re playing. Take this, an easy one, call up your friend/colleague in office and tell them you have a thing for that person. Make up a creepy story and spill some words like you mean it. Don’t drop the act till you have them and play the master stroke. Also, make sure you record the call because without it, there is no point. But I’m sure you can think of better pranks since you have ‘nothing to do at work’.

    There are so many more things you can do and if you know any, let us know. We might just give ‘em a try! Cheers!

  • Thoughts that come to your mind when your phone is about to die and you can’t help it!

    Thoughts that come to your mind when your phone is about to die and you can’t help it!

    Fear has different names and with that, different kinds. But in today’s world there is one fear that has got into everyone’s head and somewhere it’s funny. The fear you feel when your phone is about to die and you can’t do jack shit about it! It’s not just with you but everyone, from you to all the people around you; world-fu**in-wide! There’s a possibility that something might just go wrong when you can’t get through anyone because, well, your phone will die any minute but what is sure, is you’re overreacting to the situation! And these thoughts exactly explain how you feel OR overreact when your phone is about to die and you can’t help it!

     

    #1 I want to die too!

    You’re just sitting, chilling, doing nothing that’s remotely important and your phone beeps with a notification that says ‘low battery’. But to us, it feels like the devil has made his presence felt! And all your fear comes running to you. And all you want to do is die because you were stupid enough to not bring your charger with you.

    #2 How will I ever get to know if there’s a zombie break out!

    And then, paranoia hits you in the head with a bullet! You don’t even have enough battery to make a last call to your family and friends just to let them know that you love them. What if there’s a zombie break out and all the signals are jammed and you can’t call for help? But what if it’s not paranoia? Save yourself.

    #3 I feel like a loner already!

    You know your phone is going to die anyway but to make it last longer you turn off the data, decrease the brightness, close all the running apps and whatever gives your phone a little more time to live. You sacrifice your social life so it can live a little more of its life before it has to go back in your bag. Not really sure if that sacrifice is taking you to heaven, just saying!

    #4 If anything happens to me, nobody will get to know!

    Hope your mom tied that colourful dhaga on your wrist because without that and an almost dead phone, what’s going to save you in this cruel world of humans? It’s time you started carrying a pepper spray, at least. And moreover, everybody wants to die famous, not like Bruce Wayne’s parents in the Crime Alley, right?

    #5 How will I stalk that girl/guy on Instagram!?

    Talk about big problems of life! It’s that hour of the day when you stalk the shit out of that one person you think you’re in love with. Wait, you’re actually in love with them? Sure. But damn your luck, because your phone is about to die. Don’t get teary eyed now, its wait the worth. It’s better to see a new post by them rather than seeing the old ones for the hundredth time!

    #6 How am I going to post stories on Snapchat about the major events in my life?

    Those major events as we all know are a movie that you’ll be watching later, maybe the popcorns you’re going to hog! The latter one is actually a major one, no kidding! But you know what’d be a major event? Getting a life, try that!

    #7 What if there’s a crisis at work!?

    You’d even pray to the God, that you don’t believe in, just to make sure this never takes place. When your phone is about to die and out of nowhere there’s a work crisis and your boss can’t reach you OR he was able to reach you but your phone dies in the middle of the conversation but he thinks you hung up on him. Guess who just lost their job? Wait, you do have a job, right?

    #8 I wish I had life support for my phone!

    When the common sense knocks on your head and you realize that you should’ve carried your power bank but you being you, forgetting things and all that. Remember, nobody’s perfect but many people do carry their power banks. This is a lesson more important than the trigonometry lesson you were taught as a kid. True story.

    #9 It’s like the time has stopped!

    Obviously, a phone so smart and the owner so… nevermind. Even if you’re wearing a watch, you can see the clock ticking but it doesn’t make the time run any faster. To kill time you don’t really need a phone but that’s all you have that connects you to everyone, entertains you and helps you in every way possible. But when your phone is about to die, what are you going to do?
