Here I sit in front of my laptop frozen at 7 pm on a Wednesday. Frozen not because of the building's air conditioning but because my brain is missing. This is my 8th hour in the office. 6th hour in front of the laptop scramming in charts into the presentations, pulling out reports from databases which take forever to download and scrunching numbers in excel sheets. Apart from these, there are nice colleagues screaming around or attending their international official calls on speaker mode.
And all of a sudden, I feel empty. Am blank. Unable to think.
I tried calling up few friends, tried chatting to few others but in vain. Everybody seems to be busy or bored. Or maybe they just are not interested to talk to me. I even tried whiling away some time 'orkutting', 'facebooking'. But again, in vain. I had a boring day. First the office cab was late by 10 minutes in the morning. Followed by the 'eternal' traffic jammed roads to reach office. Thank God I don't have to drive or ride. And then the rest of the day in front of this dumb machine. Phew!
Sometimes I just want to run away to places like Goa or Payyanur (my hometown in Kerala). Why? Because 'I need a break!' Don't you guys identify with me? Am sure yes.
Such an artificial life here with the 'Brain-less Syndrome' hitting upon time and again! Please do let me know if someone has a cure for this.

So true....and where are we going in this state of mind and body?
ReplyDeleteWell.. most ppl dont have any work. some pretend that they work.. others spend their time reading blogs,googling around trying to update themselves with some interesting thoughts - its called keeping yourself occupied.

thats coz you are out of ideas... try new things seek new topics n explore.. theres a lot of things around you that you can research on... be it work or fun ;)
Once my colleague happened to ask me... "how do you guys do the same work everyday? arent ya bored!?" ... this is how I explained my way of occupying myself n not gettin bored with it... its somethin like chopping a carrot.. I slice it from bottom to top.. the next day I do it diagonally, the next day I try to flip the knife before choppin.. the next day I do multiple flips of the knife before the chop.. so its finally how you keep your work interesting...
the brainless-hitting syndrome.. nice way to name it ... but i call it being blank.. simple thing I would suggest is pick a notepad and jott down how you feel being in that state ,.. you could end up writing a book on it ;)when the creativity sparks...it will lit your brain n hit that syndrome bak :)
Yeah these thought less void 'brainless syndrome' does happen to me at work. Nice to know i'm not alone. usually happens between 3.30 pm and 4 pm. In tamil its called 'Unda Mayakam'. Englishkaran say as Post lunch syndrome. Hey I identified a way to crack these syndromes that hit us at work. Have Mr. Atkinson's (Mr. Bean) gig image making funny faces in your comp and watch him for 30 sec. I bet all these syndromes vanish in a giffy.
