How do you kill time ‘officially’ ?

How do you kill time creatively ? Ty attending a ‘conference call’.

A ‘conference call’ is a fantastic invention where you hide behind a phone and carry on what you are doing – eat, sleep, watch TV, play with cat et al, all the while pretending to work.

Attend a typical conference call and you could hear many of the following at the same time:

1. Telephone ringing
2. Pressure cooker whistling
3. Children laughing
4. Children crying
5. TV News playing
6. Swear words
7. Ambulance
8. Fire Engines
9. Wall drilling
10. Call on-hold music

There is one standard output of a conference call : Nothing.

There is only one decision in a conference call – To have an offline meeting to solve the issue that the conference call was supposed to solve.

So, what can you do while in a conference call :

1. Play ‘Angry Birds’ on your iPhone.
2. Clean your ear
3. Do pushups
4. Sleep, if you are not doing any one of the above.
