The joy of Friday - subdued but still Uplifting

Hey you all...

hope you had a fruitful week of work and are ready to have a blast this weekend!


As soon as Friday evening dawned for me, my joy for the weekend mildly diminished because of the fact that I had to come to work in order to perform an urgent task that could not be postponed.

But nevertheless, somehow the fact that Friday had come to an end was enough in itself to cheer me up. I have no idea how. Is that how the human mind has been trained? Or was it simply because I knew that my Sunday wasn't going to be eaten up as well?

Well whatever the answer is, here I am. At my workplace. Trying to perform my task and sharing the oddity of the situation with you all.

It's not as bad as I thought it would be. But I wish I get this over with to have a good amount of time remaining to pursue my other activities and hobbies waiting for me...

Have a great Saturday!!!

Conflicting nature of Work

Hi readers...How's your day going?

I have just been presented with a conflicting situation and I have no idea how to resolve it. Right now, I NEED to do a task that involves not a huge amount of brain work but more amount of patience. It is more of a routine job that just has to be done and gotten over with.

And there is ANOTHER task that I desperately WANT to do - which involves actual learning and brain work on my part. But this is not as 'urgent' as my first task. And obviously I can't do some kind of parallel tasking since both require my complete concentration.

If I choose task 1, my soul will keep weeping for the rest of the day.
And if I pick task 2, my Bosses will make me weep for not having completed what was dutifully required from me for procedures' sake.

I just feel like pulling my hair....

The wonderful side-effects of 'Snacking' !

Remember my previous post where I'd told you all that I had refilled my snack counter by buying snacks at my workplace?

Well! I wasn't the only one apparently!

As soon as word got out that I had some really munch-able items on my desk, the people around me took out their own secret stash to reveal their collections to me and everyone else! I was almost laughing. So is this what we do behind others' backs :D

So, finally, we collected an assortment of sweets, cookies and chips and had a mini unofficial party as everyone huddled around and ate together, before going back to our respective tasks.

'Snacking' and Working !

There are a lot of factors that boost our enthusiasm to perform the day's tasks or goals at our workplace. First and foremost is the quality of work you have in your hands. Having a task that is challenging and overlapping with your area of interest is one of the most splendid factors that can give you satisfaction at work.

Another factor that could boost your spirit is having some nice, good smelling, oh so scrumptious snacks around that can take away or distract you from the "pressure" aspect of your work.

So, here I am, having some interesting tasks set ahead for the day, along with my just now refilled stock of CHIPS and CHOCOLATE cookies! Ah, they are just mouth watering.

What are you waiting for? Go get some snacks of your own choice and enjoy working in their company!
