How to kill time ?

Look straight down

It is 4.00 PM on a Friday evening.

Way too early to leave without feeling guilty.
And too late to start any new work related activity.
Should I just chuck the dilemma and pack ?

But what would people around think ?
Only 2 months since joining and already abusing flexible hours.
Reading some project documents might make time go fast.
Except they are about as interesting as seeing grass grow.
Damn it, conscience & congnizance can't co-exist in one brain.

Staring blankly at the monitor is making my eyes water.
Of course, nobody is fooled by what I'm doing here.

I think they are all busy acting their charades out too.

What with the stupid rain outside, can't go anyway now.
Risk it ? Might just get a little wet but will be home soon.
On the other hand, sitting here cozily with free internet isn't bad.
That and songs playing on the mobile are a good combo.
Even after discounting the fact that I can't stretch or lie down.

Time to make a decision.
Have done enough thinking to last for a week.
Ironically, was thinking of working from home today.
Somehow whiled away half hour on this.

People have started leaving. Hurray.
Off I go, now one among the crowd.
Still, not a bad half hour spent on this.
To know what I mean, see the first letters.
