Wanna be my messenger?

Follow us:WhatsappFacebookTwitterTelegram.cls-1{fill:#4d4d4d;}.cls-2{fill:#fff;}Google NewsLife was good...the one fateful day, the techies decided the CNN gang was having way too much fun....and they for some bizzare reason decided it was best that they block the MSN messenger in the office.....
So for about three hours the online flirting had to be on pause...the "hey 'ssup" quick lines had to wait....and the only internet activity one could indulge in...was to go to google and check out search results under "BORED"...!

What is it with corporte setups and this inane universal idea of wanting to block the messenger...and why...I mean why is it that no matter which office you go to...the message windows are just deemed taboo!

I'd like to narrate times when my colleagues and me would be sitting right next to each other chattin, exchanging notes....discussing world politics...and talking about something that are better left unsaid..better types of course..

Now don't get me wrong...we do have tons of work to do as well...but between finding stories...and editing and lending our beautiful voices for voice overs..sometimes you do wanna drop in a line to a friend...and a smiley..

Then again, not that the messenger has stopped...like all good offices, employees stick together and it takes one tech genious to figure websites that help you log on...

Life is goos again, slightly inconvienient may be...but good!
