It's all a matter of time

Hey people, please don’t call the police. I know I have committed a heinous crime but then the circumstances forced me to do so. My parents had never ever imagined in their weirdest of dreams that their daughter will become a murder some day. But it’s true. I have KILLED time. I have been killing time since two months @ 10 hours a day. And now I know what IT professionals are paid for.

In spite of the “stringent IT policies” almost all IT professionals (esp. consultants) do the same set of things at office. They check all their mail accounts every two minutes hoping that some of their counterparts would have forwarded a mail. Thanks to numerous proxies, chatting is still considered to be one of the favorite time pass. They buzz every person online and in very desperate situations send offline messages also. Some intellectuals among us also rack their brains in solving online puzzles. People of this league have klueless mornings, klueless afternoons and klueless evenings!!

Some furzi consultants like me read novels as PDF so that the client thinks you are racking your brain with some user guide or implementation manual. Some other intellectual consultants keep themselves updated with the latest happenings round the globe. Other esteemed ways of killing time are downloading songs, checking daily horoscope, searching for status messages etc.

A couple of precious office hours are also reserved for managing the hard earned money. Share market, online investments, online bill payments, internet banking form an integral part of work. All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy. So after all these tiring hours of surfing, consultants add some spice to their office life by conducting meetings. And thus another couple of hours fly by. And if still some time is left, people like me update their blogs.

P.S : A couple of words are borrowed from Tushar's repository of jokes.

ooh la la...lady u just hit the nail on the head , its high time that we the "technocrats" should be rechristened as "technobrats".....companies are wasting a lot of money on people like us(me at least).....but it was nice to know that i am not the only one who should be ashamed and embarrassed while withdrawing his salary........
