Dilbert - 'At the Workplace'

  • I can only please one person per day. Today is not your day. Tomorrow is not looking good either.

  • I love deadlines. I especially like the whooshing sound they make as they go flying by.

  • I don't have an attitude problem. YOU have a perception problem.

  • My reality cheque bounced.

  • On the keyboard of life, always keep one finger on the escape key.

  • I don't suffer from stress. I am a carrier.

  • Do not meddle in the affairs of dragons, because you are crunchy and taste good with ketchup.

  • Never argue with idiots. They drag you down to their level, then beat you with experience.

  • A pat on the back is only a few inches from a kick in the butt.

  • Don't be irreplaceable. If you can't be replaced, you can't be promoted.

  • Only the mediocre are at their best all the time.

  • There's a fine line between genius and insanity. I have erased this line.

  • If at first you don't succeed......skydiving isn't for you.

  • Life is a waste of time; time is a waste of life, so get wasted all of the time and have the time of your life.

  • When everything is coming your way.....you're in the wrong lane

Bored?

Yes! I am! and I have no idea what to do about it. Anything I do becomes routine after a point. So is something wrong with me or is it just life? Tried my hand at french classes & quit that after it became 'routine'. Tried my hand at gymming & though I have not quit that, its 'just exercise'. Going to movies has become the 'weekend' routine. In fact the initial thrill of being in 'namma bengalooru' has been replaced by boredom. So much so that the same set of pals I meet with in Bangalore, go to Chennai & meet up there. As if the change in location would make life interesting. Office has always been routine. And even reading sometimes does. Here is a list of things that could happen right now that could break this routine,

1. My super-boss looking over my shoulder & taking me to task for whiling away time in writing blogs.
2. My client calling me up to offer me a million dollar deal.
3. I look out of the window & I see 'Godzilla' zipping by.
4. Somebody smokes in the cubicle, setting off the sprinkler system & we have an impromptu rain dance.
5. I get a call from ALL credit card companies offering me a 'free' credit card but which this time means I can buy anything & not have to pay back.
6. I somehow get transported into movies when i want it instead of just watching it.

What outrageous thing could happen to you at this moment that could break your routine & stay etched in your memory for life? Let me know! But me being me - I might just look out the window tomorrow, turn to my cubicle-mate & say, "Its just Godzilla".
