I remember the days when I used to say in this blog that we should all be good office workers who give our employers' their money's worth. I also remember saying that we should refrain from doing things that will put our paid time to no good use.
Indeed, as office workers, we are paid to work. Thus we should all know not to waste the time doing things that we are not paid to do. However, I must admit that I was probably extra righteous then because I realized that working non-stop is such a feat to achieve.
That was something I realized while sitting in front of my computer atop a 34-storey office building. I was busy typing text to my computer when, all of a sudden, the urge to type vanished, and I just ended up with my chin placed on my desk, looking at the computer monitor in front.
Only a few weeks into this day job and it already became normal for my mind to sleep during the lazy hours of the afternoon, though my body cannot possibly sleep or risk being reprimanded by my supervisor. Blankly looking at the computer monitor for a couple of minutes has been the norm, though I check on my Facebook account once in a while.
Now, now. I do not want to end up like this during my entire stay. What do I need in order to keep an alert mind? Do I have to ask someone to blow a whistle whenever I seem to be out of touch? What? Your advice is greatly appreciated.
