Things to do when bored in Office.


Office can be boring at times. Or Most of the times. Or is it always? Well that depends on the individual. There are often days in office when the only challenge you have in front of you is to prevent yourself from dozing off in your workstation. In fact it can get so boring, thaaaaattt kealsdopjalsdklcsakcndas lkaf . Oops sorry, My bad.



So, what does one do on such days? Surfing the internet is the most obvious option. Log into all possible social networks, chat with people whom you haven’t seen in a decade, tweet about political problems like you actually give a damn about it and actually check out Google+ to see how a post apocalyptic social network would look like. But that’s the easy way out. And one will get bored of it eventually.

So, here are 10 alternate, fun and (un)realistic ways to help you bide your time in office.

  • Thought of starting with a useful one. Sign up for an online course and learn something completely new. Coursera is the place to be. You can find a huge assortment of courses ranging from Quantum Physics to A Beginners guide to Irrational Behaviour.
  • Visit a random forum on the internet. There are hoards of it. Pick a topic which interests you the least and you have nil knowledge of. Pick a thread which has a serious discussion going on and post a stupid question on it. Wait for the replies and have fun.
  • Missed out on a movie because of your busy office schedule? Well your office is kind enough to give you the solution for the same. You will find most of the relatively new movies on YouTube. So, Go ahead. Grab some popcorn, Get your headphones and watch a movie.
  • Scout for people who are equally if not more bored than you, assemble them in a vacant meeting room and shoot a Harlem shake video. I know the Harlem Shake is among the most retarded things ever, but kills your boredom for sure.
  • Anyone who crosses your workstation, stop them and ask for the secret code in Batman’s voice. This may result in irritated co-workers and a slap or 2, but again it kills your time.
  • There is always THAT one annoying person who everyone tries to ignore in Office. Be their Agony Aunt. Sit with them and listen to what he/she has to say. Try to look genuinely interested even if you get the impulse to slap the taste out of their mouth.
  • Take a walk around your office. Wherever you find a person out of their desk, go to their system; take a screenshot of their desktop and save that picture. Now, hide all icons, drag the task-bar down and set that picture as their wallpaper. Stand back and enjoy as they try to figure out what’s wrong.
  • Call the receptionist from your mobile phone and ask them for yourself. And when your office phone rings, pick up and engage yourself in a serious conversation. Finish it off with an expletive and bang the receiver down.
  • Put on your running shoes and run a lap around your entire office. Get back to your workstation, do the winners pose and Mail your timings to everyone in office.
  • Pick a random person who is working seriously (Yes, I know they will be far and few). Go all Dee-Dee on them. “Oooh what does this button do”, “Why do you have this slide in here”, “Can u tell me what does this function do in JAVA”, “Can I press this button”. Once you think they are irritated enough, move on to the next person.
