Office Hours

Usually every company’s office period is for 9 hours. Typical timings are from 9 O’ Clock in the morning to 6 O’ clock evening. But our office timing is 9 to 6:30 ;) officially. As you know this is very long time and it is very tough to pass this time even when you have work or not. If you don’t have work then it is obvious that you are not able to pass time but If someone has work then s/he normally pass time till 6:30 than starts working and It is very normal that in any IT company 70% of work is done after working hours which is only 20% of total working time and quite interesting is that it is not paid.

How people pass these paid time.

Starts with 9 hours 30 minutes (570 Minutes)
Everyone has to sign in before 10:30 am (90 minutes late to actual time)
Remaining Time 480 minutes

Anyone can sign-out after 5 pm(again 90 minutes before time)
Remaining Time 390 Minutes

Official Lunch time is 1 PM to 2 PM
But people start discussing about it at 12noon and reach cafeteria at 12:30 only but it doesn’t affect the end of Lunch Time that is always 2 PM or some time 2:30
I assume it as 2:15
Time in lunch is 12 to 2:15 (135 minutes)
Remaining Time 255 minutes

At least 2 coffee breaks of 30 minutes each(60 minutes)
Remaining Time 195 minutes.

Still We have 195 minutes that is more than 3 hours.

For this 3 hours people usually spend in various activities although these all are useless for company for which they are working for and the most Important is company is paying for it. What are these activities ?
Let’s Start :-
• * Blogging :- Most of the guys write the post in 9 Minutes(Maddy) to 2-3 hours(Bagga) but they forget to mention the editing time which is far more than the writing time. You will not believe that some are editing the html code of blog template. (30 minutes)
• * PakUrdu/Gupshup :- In short these are the online communities which discuss or gupshup about Osama to Jardari to Pakistan to Naseebo.
• * News :- It is like everyone is preparing for IAS and spending time in reading articles perhaps the time is more than the time which they spent in preparing exam in entire college Life.
• * Finance desk : Some are busy in making and analyzing charts of stock markets.
• * One of the worst time pass if any international cricket match is going on than many will refresh the news page 100’s of time to get the live score. (15 minutes minimum)
• * Some Read Novels. (average 5 minutes)

I forgot to mention the time passed in checking forwarded emails and in forwarding those mails to others. (30 minutes)
Communicator chat time !! (15 minutes)
Google time pass !! (assume 30 minutes)
Reading others blog(10 minutes)

Remaining time (195 – 30 -15 – 30 – 15 – 30 – 10) = 65 Minutes 

So finally our office hour is limited to around “ONE HOUR”
Still talking with friends is remaining……
So Have fun at Office while being Paid 
