Considering this question in rhetoric it might be wise enough to ask one this.
Note: Yours truly is assuming innocently that the enlightened readers of this piece of prose are actually engaged in some form of employment!
Ok, coming to my question – I feel it suitable to ask this to myself now and again, especially that on a Saturday afternoon, I’m ‘busy’ in office, publishing this blog of mine. Problem is, ‘working’ on Saturdays is often confused with ‘coming to office’ on Saturdays. I mean, u might ‘come’ to office but not necessarily work.
What one does once in office is another question….
Well, for starters, it is very possible that the incumbent is a blighted young bachelor who has no home, no family to spend the time on a weekend and so he decides to spend (or, kill?) some quality time at office, where he has all the luxuries of the Air Conditioner, a lightening-speed internet connection and free access to the beverage vending machines!
This is the case with many a IT professionals throughout the annals of Bangalore and other cities with a similar ‘ecosystem’.
Phew!
But hey, there are times when I coming to office was necessitated by the demands of my ‘respect-worthy’ superior, who insisted on a sad Friday evening that I finish the allotted job by Monday. This killing proposition leaves me, an otherwise non-hostile creature, no other choice but to mouth a few silent expletives at BOSS and subsequently decide that Saturday too would be a working day…. :-(
Must not forget that there is a large no. of lesser mortals in India that works Saturdays too! And so I consider myself lucky and finally feel nice about my not-so-nice job which gives me an official 5 day work-week, Thank You !
God bless the Boss !
