Blogging to the Bank

There are various ways to make sure, you can blog to the bank.
 
Blogging to the Bank seems to be new mantra in the e-world.
 
Let me try to give all some inputs. The objective is not to make money, but to make it on the fly doing your normal stuff.
 
Dont forget Google adsense. Few cents a day (or a click) is worth huindres of dollars in a year. All in your pass time.
 
Good luck!

Email from Boss!

It's half past 8 in the office but the lights are still on... 
PCs still running, coffee machines still buzzing... 
And who's at work? Most of them??? Take a closer look... 

All or most specimens are?? 
Something male species of the human race... 

Look closer... again all or most of them are bachelors... 

And why are they sitting late? Working hard? No way!!! 
Any guesses??? 
Let's ask one of them... 
Here's what he says... "What's there 2 do after going home...Here we get to surf, AC, phone, food, coffee that is why I am working late...Importantly no bossssssss!!!!!!!!!!!" 

This is the scene in most research centers and software companies and other off-shore offices. 

Bachelors "Time-passing" during late hours in the office just bcoz they say they've nothing else to do... 
Now what r the consequences... 

"Working" (for the record only) late hours soon becomes part of the institute or company culture. 

With bosses more than eager to provide support to those "working" late in the form of taxi vouchers, food vouchers and of course good feedback, (oh, he's a hard worker... goes home only to change..!!). 
They aren't helping things too... 

To hell with bosses who don't understand the difference between "sitting" late and "working" late!!! 

Very soon, the boss start expecting all employees to put in extra working hours. 

So, My dear Bachelors let me tell you, life changes when u get married and start having a family... office is no longer a priority, family is... and 
That's when the problem starts... b'coz u start having commitments at home too. 

For your boss, the earlier "hardworking" guy suddenly seems to become a "early leaver" even if u leave an hour after regular time... after doing the same amount of work. 

People leaving on time after doing their tasks for the day are labeled as work-shirkers... 

Girls who thankfully always (its changing nowadays... though) leave on time are labeled as "not up to it". All the while, the bachelors pat their own backs and carry on "working" not realizing that they r spoiling the work culture at their own place and never realize that they wuld have to regret at one point of time. 

So what's the moral of the story??
* Very clear, LEAVE ON TIME!!! 
* Never put in extra time " unless really needed " 
* Don't stay back un-necessarily and spoil your company work culture which will in turn cause inconvenience to you and your colleagues. 
There are hundred other things to do in the evening.. 

Learn music... 

Learn a foreign language... 

Try a sport... TT, cricket......... 

Importantly,get a girl friend or boy friend, take him/her around town... 

* And for heaven's sake, net cafe rates have dropped to an all-time low (plus, no fire-walls) and try cooking for a change. 

Take a tip from the Smirnoff ad: *"Life's calling, where are you??"* 

Please pass on this message to all those colleagues and please do it before leaving time, don't stay back till midnight to forward this!!! 

IT'S A TYPICAL ASIAN MENTALITY THAT WORKING FOR LONG HOURS MEANS VERY HARD WORKING & 100% COMMITMENT ETC. 

PEOPLE WHO REGULARLY SIT LATE IN THE OFFICE DONT KNOW TO MANAGE THEIR TIME. SIMPLE !


Regards, 

Your Boss
