Perks of being in BENCH

10. Blessed are you, to have a very looooooong lunch and coffee breaks....24*7 it's recess :-)

9. Catch up with your long la(o)sted friends..... This is the time, to unleash the monster in you by pinging all the pity souls who consider that "every keystroke of theirs earn revenue to your company in dollars"(deepak's verbatim). To be simple, irritate your friends who have real work to do.

8. Make a wishlist of all the novels which you wanted to read, but hardly had time to buy. This is the time.Grab it.

7. No psycho mentors to monitor you... can have the privilege to shower your presence whenever u feel like going to office.

6. Invent some innovative games or indulge in some awesome activities like  paper basket ball. Ignoring the weird looks given by folks in your cubicle,earns you brownie points. If you have become obsessed with face book, checking it every minute, then it's high time to see a shrink or contact your reporting manager to get into a new project, for which, any how u have to visit a shrink later.

5. You can be up to date in the recent things happening around. No, i'm not talking about the technology you are using or current affairs. Catch the recent episodes of HIMYM, Big Bang Theory or any of your favorite series. Mind you, Please don't get caught by using your office network. Remember,only we are jobless and not the monitoring committee.

4. You would have considered taking a yoga class when you were in project. There is no need for it as you are living a stress free life where there isn't a necessity to curse your manager and TL's.

3. 100%  guaranteed unruffled sleep,devoid of nightmares about code reviews, status calls.

2. You can practice the lesson of "living in the moment" preached by yogis of the ancient past, by checking out whether your tooth paste has got salt in it, has one of your friend got a teeny tiny pimple in her face, is the guy four cubicle away from you is wearing the same shirt all five days..... don't over do it and become voyeuristic...... Take a break in between :-P

And the No.1 goes to........ every common mans dream ........which is ......."WAIT FOR IT".........

1. Getting paid for dolce far niente :-)

So lets change our phase in bench from ennui to hoopla.
