10 ways of wasting time at a boring conference;)

Posted in Crap;) at 12:49 am by ershu

One thing that really irritates me..wait wait..i d rather say one thing that really kills me to sleep is a boring conference or meeting..especially the ones where your boss or superior talks with an infinite viscosity!!..sheesh…my upper eyelids would weigh around zillion tonnes those moments..LOL..

And suppose you had a bad night the previous day..lets say a late nite movie or football show..or lets say a late hangout with friends..that leaves you with just a few hours of sleep which just mounts up to the gravitational force your upper eyelids are subjected to,right under ur boss’ nose!..

Obviously,most of us are desperate not to fall asleep, but end up cutting a sorry figure in front of your boss..so here are a set of activities which you could try out on a boring Monday morning conference,that could help you with not falling asleep….btw,its not ranked in anyway..i am just randomly listing them down in the order that comes out from my head;)

  1. Chewing gum-the single most effective measure in not fallin asleep..but make sure you dont show too much of your gum outta ur mouth,..can be irritating to certain people :D
  2. Mobile games- in case your attention is not required much for the meeting and you happen to be lucky enough to be sittin miles away from your boss,you could try out mobile gaming..i d recommend racing games..keeps you alert..even d simple snake game would do..note:dont hold me responsible if your boss catches you playing!! :D
  3. Making faces at your colleagues :D -ahaaa..now this is my favourite and the most frequently tried one..LOL..in case your thinking whether i ve gone nuts, i am serious..try it out..it ll keep your colleagues also awake!!
  4. For those of you who are really good at drawing, you could try out drawing your boss’ face on a piece of paper…its got the added advantage that you are always alert n lookin at your boss..safest technique right? :D
  5. Clickin pics of your face in diff poses with the front cam of your mobile :D ..
  6. Miss calling your fellow colleagues at the conference :P
  7. Removing your shoes and wearing them again over n over(keep doing that at 10 times per hour till the meeting gets over :D )..PS:this advice does not apply to people with stinky socks!!..hihi
  8. Toilet breaks..but plsssss dont take such breaks anywhere close to the rates mentioned above okayyy :D ..
  9. Play nought and cross with your neighbouring colleague :P
  10. Read your conference materials backwards!!..hihi..crazy but really effective..trust me..i ve tried it!!

For those of you who still cant help fallin asleep,follow tip no 8 n never return back :D ..hihi..

Anymore ideas anybody??..you are always welcome to contribute;)..adios!!:)
