cheap office thrill
Wednesday, July 11, 2007 / 6:20 PM

I think most of us know this CHEAP OFFICE THRILL.

Let me introduce the items needed to get the most out of this cheap thrill.

1- a very open workstation
2- a pc/laptop with internet connection
3- a bored and unsupervised assignment
4- quick fingers and reflexes
5- stoic facial expressions
6- and the most important, the mini rebel in you

Now with all the above gathered, we may begin.

Firstly, put item number 3 aside, and utilize item number 2. Quickly do a quick surveillance sweep around item number 1 and its vicinity. Log on to the World Wide Web, and start your illicit surfing. If your item number 6 is in sparse quantities, or you are just a beginner, do just go to wordy websites (e.g. wikipedia, blogs with owners who are html-impaired* so they have weak formatting skills and have plain and dreary backgrounds). Leave the multi-coloured and flashy sites to the experts. (I know of my superb friend (it’s you jing!) that dares play spider solitaire and we all know how striking and big the green window can be and all the movements of the cards will cause a flurry but she’s an expert already so do not imitate unless you’re as expert-y or you have an overdose of item 6)

If someone walks by, item 4 will come in HANDY (ahaha cheap pun and I recognized it) and immediately put on item 5. It’s the best office make-up there can be. The ideal is that item 5 is on all the time so you will not arouse suspicion.

If all goes well, every time someone walks by there will be this mini flutter in you. That will be caused by a little boost in adrenaline produced by the adrenal gland which prepares your body for the ‘fight or flight’ situation. Trust me. This is much more effective than caffeine.

Behold. The alternative to morning coffee in the office has been discovered. BY ME.

*ok I’m sorry, not everyone with a wordy/plain format are html-impaired. They might subscribe to contemporary minimalism. And not everyone who have flashy blogs are experts in html. I’m one of them.

As you can all see I’m quite visibly bored. I blog almost everyday. I was even contemplating of chronicling the fashion wows and blunders by mop but decided that it was downright mean and he really hasn’t done anything to offend/disturb me so I shall not (nothing too interesting about the male office wardrobe anyway). Oh. But tomorrow is DRESS DOWN FRIDAY. ANYTHING CAN HAPPEN. DO STAY TUNED.
