~ idle ~

not the status next to your nick name in a IM, but thts my real state now. well atleast 99% of the time.. well lets calculate the no of calls i use to handle on a daily basis when i was in col, when atleast use to when i was working on that project. hmmm i have to do a average about 120-130 calls a day to cover ma target.. now its just been 9 calls the highest which has come for a day. well actually the sh** hasn't hit the fan yet. so im fingers crossed. this time actually is inbound. so i can wait till someone feels like talkin to me or complaining to me. thats wht im here for "project : complaint man". wish i knew.. but then again like i've said before its free trip to see ma natives. for all the long toil of 3 yrs in my company a smal tinnnyyy wiiinnnyyy reward/curse which might cost me my new job.

mostly in here its about my complaints n views of things in my life. they say i shud feel happy i have a job but the purpose of the job or fulfillment is not there. there is need for me to work. im a workaholic. ma dad was one, so will i be, its in ma genes. but my view of work is somethin other. i might not be bright quick learner but im certainly witty on the long run. but these projects are short term mostly pilot projects or DR purpose. been a suckur on the early days when i started work cos i was fast n quick. then when i adapted to the system, i got bored of the system. it was routine, thts part of the job but since i mastered it, it no long stimulated my mind. i remember doing these random test(funny ones) one of the results was, i'd be turned on by science chick rather than a blondy... cos the SC would stimulate my mind by her mere intellectuality. i'd F*** that.... these part of me is i never had one particular taste. well thats a different story. tht dept is closed permanently. so comin back to the stimulating part. its true, i need to be kept on the buzz, busy mind boggling uptemp work. everythin is exciting untill i've been trained and mastered. after tht it wud be ordinary, tom dick, jenny, blonde can do tht and i'd give up.. :-)

so being idle 99% of the time, wht do i do... hmm work start at 12, so i come here before tht. then for another half hr there is no internet access, anyways im not suppose to be having net access, in colombo i have the privilege of knowing supervisor password for my dept. so im using tht in here, triv office. :-D so sri lankan of me ya, doing wht im not suppose to do. well i had to be on web messenger all the while i was in col. stupid bloo** sh** tht is. IT punk a** cant keep the hands off ma pc, i've lost my admin rights(i cant install any program). thts that. reading blogs n sign to msgr. thts wht i do as the job and attending to calls is like part time.. :D i know so many wud wannabe where iam..

so you wanna idle? hope atleast the new place, if i make it back to sl in time and the company still wants to hire me, would be more exciting(known factor i'd be bored soon in that too). but i've been warned its goin to be hard work, which im looking forward, i've been lethargic since i've settled into monotonous work. so hope i can i jumpstart ma engine from "idle" to "too busy".

Well mister super IDLE you remind me of my early years of job history. I worked as a call center agent for 2 years and had illegal access to internet and all that shit going around. Imagine about 8 years ago internet here was like 'whoa'!!! The sites were not entertaining as its now or didn’t look pretty either. But chatting was some thing I enjoyed a lot. Believe me some instances it went far than chatting hak hak.

One advice I can give you is that enjoy while you can. If the harder times there is yet to come be prepared for it. Gather some background info if can or else just be IDLE but be AVAILABLE.

Good Luck!!

Man this 'stumbleupon' this is cool. Today is Sunday and its my favourite day in office. So peaceful and silent.

~ lo$t $oul ~ said...

u work on sundays?? dude...?? oh shit i might even have to work on sunday(grinding the teeth) all for the price of $$$$ at the end of the month...

Priyantha Bandara said...

I work on Sunday coz that’s a day where I can get most of my work done which needs lot of concentration. The other days its answering calls, managing or supervising people and reply to emails and kind of stereo type stuff. Sure I do get bucks for that and that’s time is a worthy investment for me in that case.

hmmmm as long as your getting paid wtf and if its a day where u can get some serious work done then cool, i prefer the new ideology, mobileoffice/homeoffice. so i can have to dress up everyday with a tie n work into office like a bigshot when i do csr.. i so wish i can work at home just my *censored* (decent clothes) on...

hey, when im loaded with work, i crave for some idle time..i think we all tend to do that....but a mix of both, well balanced would be great!:) but i hate to be idle all the time..makes one feel lazy and a waste of time.

~ lo$t $oul ~ said...

hmmmm im more of a workaholic.. i rather be tired from work than laziness. trust me u can get tired from being lazy. im almost there, on the lazy side. i just prefer somethin to overlook, judgment based, realistic, artistic, oh the list n cravings go on...
