just another day in my mindset at the office

Its becoming harder to come up with topics to write about these days, and i blame that on my work place for making my life routine. Today was even more boring than the other work days for quiete a few reasons 

1) We had no meetings at all, so that meant spending 8 hours staring at the computer screen 

2) I usually equip myself with a well thought playlist for such occasions, but thanks to a cheap memory card, all my songs were wiped off and i had no music.

3) Being diwali, half of the people were on leave and there are not many people left to talk to.

But then i resorted to plan B to make the day a little more interesting. Plan B meant chatting with people over the office messenger. In the midst of all this, out of nowhere i remembered my school days where we had one very effective way of tackling situations like these. It used to start off with just a few guys, then spread accross the entire class room, and pretty soon the entire building would be doing it. It was so effective that the principal had no option but to give in to our demands. By now you must be curious as to what i am talking about. What we used to do was , Start hitting the benches and yell "HALF DAY!". It spread like an infection and every student used to start hitting the benches in unison and yell at the top of their lungs. More often than not, we got that announcement over the intercom where the principal uttered the words we were waiting to hear, we got our half day. I wondered if these tactics would work in the office. Just the thought of all of us banging the desks yelling "half day" is funny enough to put a smile on your face during the otherwise dull day. Maybe the seniors would start acting like our teachers used to, and retort by writing down our employee id's on the board? What if they made us kneel down outside the cubicle as a punishment for making a noise in the office? I was so bored that i had these thoughts running through my mind. But if theres one thing that the work place can borrow from schools and colleges, it would be "the bell". It would be nice if there was a bell that rung at 5pm where everyone would have to get off their seats and take a break for snacks and tea, and then one at 11pm forcing everyone to leave at the dot of 11 ensuring that we work only 8 hours a day. But then again, wouldn't this make the day more routine than it already is?
