Bored at work
I resigned last week, so i am currently rediculously bored at work- seriously.. I would even consider watchin Eastenders at this rate! Wish I could watch Big Brother over the internet....
Adding fuel to the fire, i decided to quit smoking (again) today. I quit smoking on a regular basis, so please refrain from congratulatory remarks. Given the extreme extent of my boredom, i can't see it lasting long this time round.
Have decided to have a random ranting session on here as my colleagues are far too weird to talk to. Two of them are currently arguing in the background ... oh no its just escalated into a screaming match! Another day in the doldrams of this dire company... two and half weeks encounting!
Anyway, I just ordered lunch in and it reminded me of a little luxury which Dubai offers one. Yes, order lunch in! Small thing, but tis the small things which count. It's scolding hot outside (48c in the shade to be precise!), making a 1 minute walk feel like a walk in hell! Instead, you can pick up the phone, dial, get it delivered and dine at your desk. One minor detail has been left out though, which kinda balances out the positive aspect of it; communication..
