You need Good Monsters in your workplace

Sleepy, tired, not well-compensated and almost dead, these were the feelings over the week inside the workplace, perfect time for you to take the nervous inducing, tension boosting and hyperactivity amplifying coffee.

starbucks alternative, cheap but potent

But you don't rely on coffee to keep you going so that you'll finish all the reports needed by your boss. You need monsters at work. Just like bacteria, there are good bacteria, and I'm glad that in our office we have "good monsters"

3:00AM and still working

These monsters at work are those people who won't leave you alone in the office, they are there to help you out to beat the deadlines, willing to stay from dusk till dawn to ensure the completion of the work, motivated despite the fact that getting an over-time pay is uncertain. And one more thing about them is that they're always smiling after almost 48 hours of work without any sleep at all(or probably they are just high on coffee).

But you have to watch out for the burn out, don' forget to remind them to slow down, get some rest over the weekend, so that when time comes for a very short notice cut-off dates you get to pull someone to help you out and maximize their super human abilities at work.

Remedy for the boredom in your workplace


Things that can remedy your boredom when you're alone in the office

Call your friends, tell them that you miss them (this is a form of blackmailing them), ask them to come to your office and bring pizza, coffee, balloons, soda (I recommend Sparkle, I hope you can find one) and puto bumbong (I also hope you can find one).

Surf the net, facebook, friendster, twitter, google, digitalphotographer.com.ph, bicoldirections.blogspot.com, ufc.tv or search for the answers to your weirdest question through the search engines (you don't know what a search engine is? go to google and search "search engines"), but you have to do this moderately, you might fail to accomplish your work, your boss won't be happy and it's hard to reason out that you didn't finish your work because you were too busy surfing the net.

Listen to some music, I will strongly recommend ACDC's back in black, if it won't work because you're boredom is so severe that you feel that coming to work everyday is a pain in the butt, then I'll recommend John Legend's "Each day gets better"(it's a good song, and I'm not joking, tell me once you heard it through my message area).

Call your gf or your bf I hope they can inspire you to continue working( but most of the time they will encourage you to go home or meet somewhere, so this is not highly recommended).

No gf or bf? Find one, how? Finish your work first, then, go out of the office, go to a place where many people assemble or congregate, join clubs (like pathfinder's fans club, this is in the pipeline :-)). Seriously, join clubs that caters to your interest you might find her or him there. I know a couple who are living together for 15 years now and do you know where they met each other? They met at the cockfighting arena. I'm not encouraging you to do the same.

There, I hope this can help you. I'm going out of the office now.

Ciao!
