An exciting day at work

This is an email I received from a friend:) Honestly. Sounds like she sure is having a whale of a time!!!!

Sent so many useless emails to friends that they couldn't even be bothered to reply
Made endless cups of coffee (only for myself)
Spent an hour doing email puzzles
Polished my shoes
Cleaned my desk
Ate my way through 3 packets of crisps and two muffins
Had one lunch and four coffee breaks
Went shopping for olives
Did my grocery list
Had a hair cut
And by then, as I was exhausted with all this activity and knew I wouldn't be able to do any dinner at home, rushed out in the last 10 minutes of my working day and grabbed a couple of takeaways.

I am totally pooped. Going early to bed. And will probably call in sick tomorrow!!

Well, that's her working day. Hopefully, not a typical one. Let me tag everyone that reads this post - what's your typical working day like?

Hi L,

This seems to be a typical case when,in economics sense "diminishing marginal utility" sets in. Anything done or stretched beyond a certain limit will result in diminishing utility value and that applies to work too.

I have found this happening with me too some days. By the way I have a post after a long time.

Hari, Akka and John:
It is nice to have this once in a while...but every day like this (at least to me) that she needs to be looking out for another job....

Mr. J said...

Hahahaha.. very true. Not a daily thingie to do.

That would be an interesting tag!I'm sure it was not a typical day for her. Once in a while, a little goofing off is necessary!

Hey Lak: the funny thing is I am not sure. CAn't get her to tell me this...
