The Weekend Workers

We all work from Monday to Friday mostly(Some unfortunate people work on Saturdays) and enjoy the Weekend. After 40 hours of scheduled working hours we look forward to the 2 most joyful days of the week. Mondays & Fridays are the 2 days of the week with extremely opposite work environment. After enjoying the weekend, coming to work on a Monday most of us feel lazy and cherish the memories of the good times spent & at the same time start counting the days left for Friday in anticipation. We are more interested in planning the next weekend instead of the actual week before that. Monday blues often lead to low productivity at least in the beginning hours for some. However, its a matter of perspective as some people are energized & fresh that the level of productivity at least for those individuals is above par. I always wonder the definition of a Weekend. Being from a BPO background working in flexible shifts is not something new to me. That's exactly the topic of my post today. A lot of industries like Retail for example do not provide the Traditional Weekends or some of them even give split offs(2 holidays a week but not at a stretch). As much as people hate to do this some advantages of Working on a Saturday/Sunday are also there. Working on a Weekend implies that you are free during two days in the week which is very useful when it comes to any kind of administrative or financial work. You don't have to take extra leaves for carrying out any government work or simple things like visiting your bank. The obvious disadvantages and the one that hurts the most is that while you're toiling hard at your workplace others are enjoying their weekend and all you can do is like there posts on Social networking sites. Work is something people seldom negotiate and after all it's their bread n butter. All I wanna say is that it's best that you make the most of it. Everyone doesn't get a chance to work and also complete your other important miscellaneous chores during official business days. If you concentrate on the positive aspect it will overshadow the negative effects of working on weekends. Most importantly you'll be at peace and that's all that practically matters. Long live, God Bless n Prosper!!!!

Fake Ads

Courtesy of a friend, I got the idea of today's blog post. "Olx pe bech de " is a phrase which is used more in FB trolls than anywhere else but what leaves me stunned is the level of pranks people play on such ad websites. I can give so many examples with actual links but I'm not here to promote any website(I'm not getting paid so y bother). I've seen instances of people putting pictures of obnoxious things like Superman's underwear,miraculous dead mosquitoes who cure swine flu, used condoms(I'm sorry but had to mention it),old stuffed toys and I could go on endlessly. I mean bhangar ka samaan is the limit. I have laughed a lot watching such ads on Social Networking platforms but the fact of the matter is that someone has a job of removing such useless crap. No doubt his work becomes fun but at the same time it diminishes his quality of work as well. What I fail to understand that people go to such extent and the level of creativity can very well be used for some productive use. Interestingly enough it has tempted me to post such ads at times but my conscience(Hope I spelled it correct) doesn't allow me as the thought of irritating someone is not something I'm a big fan(Friends can call me a hypocrite for this line). Besides I am too lazy on working on an idea which is in no way beneficial to me(This blog is a perfect example). Basically if people have so much spare time I have a million other options of having fun. Reading this blog is one of them(At least I hope so). I figure I've bored enough for today and then I need active readers as well. So God Bless and Prosper!!!
