闲里装忙 How to Survive in an Office?

俗语说:『忙里偷闲居酒屋,闲里装忙真功夫』。

你要让老板感觉你是公司中过劳死呼声最高的候选人,
绝对不能让别人有任何 “你很闲” 得可怕年头。

听我说,你的座位要越乱越好。
为什么?因为没有一个忙碌的人会有时间整理自己身边的环境。

1. 公文袋与档案夹能堆多高就堆多高,让别人知道有多少事在等着你处理

2. 在四周贴满便利贴,让人觉得你有上百件事需要备忘

3. 桌上放个时钟,占空间又可当表演道具,
例如你可以突然抬起头看着时钟惊讶地叹气,然后继续低头MSN.

4. 文件最好多到让抽屉合不起来

5. 放件小外套可让人觉得你熬夜加班需要保暖(放睡袋效果更好!)

6. 偶尔可放些没吃完的食物在四周,让人觉得你连好好把饭吃完的时间都没有

7. 桌上可放些维他命或药丸,让人觉得你要靠这些才能维持你的生命

8. 摊开的书,切记一定要与工作有关,
至于要摊开在那一页就没差了,也可以适度的在上面画些红线

9. 可以将『蛮牛』等提神饮料空瓶放在垃圾桶,但位置要让路过的人能看得到

10. 放点简单的梳洗用具,可以增加熬夜加班的错觉

People say, 『忙里偷闲居酒屋,闲里装忙真功夫』。

You have to always leave an impression to your boss that you are the BUSIEST person in the office, and NEVER let anyone to even think you might be free.

Listen to me, mess up your working desk, as messy as possible!

Why? Because a busy man will never have time to own a neat and clean desk!

1. Pile up your documents, files and folders, as tall as you can.. This will show how overloaded you are.

2. Stick-on notes. Paste as many as you can all over your cubicle, this will show how many tasks you have on hand.

3. Place a clock in your cubicle, this acts as an important acting tool. From time to time, stick up your head to look at the time, with a “time not enough” expression.. you may now carry on with your MSN.

4. Fill up your drawers with documents, until you can’t even close the drawers.

5. Hang a jacket on your chair to show that you are working overtime at night, you need to keep yourself warm. (How about a sleeping bag?!)

6. Leave leftover food on the desk, people will think you are too busy to even eat!

7. Place some Vitamin pills and medicine on the desk, show that you need them to survive.

8. Flip reference books, and never close them. Highlighting a few lines will do a better effect.

9. Throw Red Bull or Brand Essense empty bottles to show that you are tired from all the work.

10. Leave cleansing or changing stuffs in office, to show that you work overnight!

Some MSN Nicks to share…

若是你在公司无法使用MSN, 我真是替你感到惋惜。
即使你正在用MSN与别人谈情说爱,心中欲火焚身时,只要你打字深锁眉头,装出一副痛苦样,
所有的人都会认为你是在认真处理公事,这真是闲里装忙得最佳利器!
更棒的是,MSN命名可藉由文字来表达目前心中的感想。
这些文字要扑朔迷离且调人胃口,让所有看到你上线的人百思不得其解进而心中充满了猜测。

最后,再来提供一个MSN大头贴!
可屌了!他的文字可是段回文诗,就是你不管从那个字开始读都是通的。
『可以忙死也』、『以忙死也可』、『忙死也可以』、『死也可以忙』、『也可以忙死』,
表达的意思就是: 怎样都是忙到死..
怎么样?这段足以入围时报广告金句奖吧?哈哈~

Here are some tips on how to MSN in office though..
Ooops, MSN blocked in your office? Too bad for you…

1) No matter how lovey-dovey you engaged in a MSN conversation,
you gotta type with a frown, so that u will look like u are working hard!

2) MSN Nicks should not be too straightforward yet humourous and appealing.

3) Try using this MSN display picture.. it works in any other way u read it!




有时在公司闲闲没事干是会让人想睡觉的,但在上班时间睡觉绝对不是好兆头,
因此大家都会在工作一阵子后适度地站起来活动一下。

大家最常用的招数: 上厕所/倒水喝

只要你离开位子,手上一定要拿着公文袋、档案夹或是几张废纸都可以,这绝对可以让别人摸不着头绪你到底在干嘛。此外,若再加上稍快的步伐,搭配着皱着眉头若有所思的表情,这样大家就会认定你是在赶往其他的部门路上,或是正为某个难题找寻解决之道。

Admit it, we all feel sleepy in office.. during working hours. But what to do, you can’t sleep openly right! So you gotta be on the move to stay awake!

Most common hangout areas: Gents/Ladies/Pantry

Heh.. hey there are tactics too~! Always leave your seat in a rush, holding a document or file.. You will look like you are on the way to some other department but actually nowhere! Frown when necessary to look like you are tied up in some work issues to resolve! 😀
