Things to do when the weather is great and you are stuck in office !!

It has rained happily and heavily last night, with thunder showers that have made the next morning apt for an excursion..are you still stuck in office, moaning inside, looking out of the window? Oh I know I am.

·         So the first thing on my checklist is to make a note of this suffering in the form of a new piece for my blog.

·         Next, if you work in a company that lets you be on the phone, taking to clients, then this is your time to make a move. Call up the person you would rather spent the day with and engage in some interesting conversation under the open sky outside, giving you the pleasure of a nice walk in the breeze.

·         If that is not the case, then see if you can arrange a meeting, as far away from your office as possible. You get the option of a long drive in this beautiful weather; and after the meeting, you don’t really have to come back to your boring office.

·         If that is not an option, and your company allows you some “creative time-out”, you should be chalking up the  bill by now.

·         For those with no such options to avail, may be it is time to make a bank visit for an hour or two with some hidden lunch plans up your sleeve.

·         Still no luck?? Didn’t someone miss out on giving a birthday treat this month? Gang up on the poor person right now, and drag the whole group out for a lunch on his expense. Bet you’ll have a great time.

·         Or for that matter, when was the last time, you met your counterpart or client to discuss business? Go out for an official lunch and squeeze in some pleasant time for yourself as well.

·         Now ideas are getting a little tricky.  Are you allowed to have meetings in the open? Pick up your laptop and march out with your team for an official brainstorming session (to discuss last night’s game).

·         Well, there is the obvious thing to do..don’t work, sit, gossip,(and as my friend says) gawk..  ;)

But more than anything else, don’t let anybody mess with your mood..as long as you are determined to enjoy this weather, no grumpy boss, no stupid co-worker can mess with your spirit…so enjoy this weather and make sure no work is done, till you decide to roll up your sleeves and get to it…!!
