Monday in the office yesterday was a no-internet day (well.. half a day). Somehow only the emails were working so I couldn’t access this blog to update or even do my work (notice how updating my blog is mentioned FIRST before my work? hehe).
Our broadband was still on a “sunday” mode and the technician who came at 11.30am had the cheek to tell us he’ll come back to fix it after lunch. Okaayy so technicians do eat lunch.
When the internet was down, most of my colleagues were walking aimlessly with nothing much to do. they were like zombies trying to find some human flesh to munch. some were reading newspapers, some closed their eyes and just rest with their MP3s banging through their heads and some were just making unnecessary washroom trips just to kill the time.
I was going through my jokes folder in my email and just occupied myself.
When the line was finally back on at 3.30pm, everybody got on their work. I switched into my programming mode and was doing work - then it struck me, I didn’t need internet access at all to do it. Everything was on our development server, I just need the net when I need to refer to something.
It was just an excuse not to do work. Hehe. Don’t know about the rest. Man I hope my colleagues don’t read my blog haha.
