Netflix In Office

My work time would usually stretch till night to complete 40 hours as I only worked for 4 days a week. Rest 3 days would be spent in Salli. After Office hours Or would go to see the sunset with his friend. They would come early in the night only to find me still working. Our dinner food would be mostly the leftover food from lunch. Due to our inertia, we would cook a large quantity of food in the day time so that we wouldn't have to be in the kitchen again. During office hours, we had kept turns for who will make tea, clean the office, make breakfast, cut vegetables, cook lunch, wash dishes etc. Everything would be properly delegated. Usually, I would be in charge of making tea, cooking daal and rice. Or would help in cutting vegetables and cleaning dishes. Others in the office would help us as per their turn. Our process-oriented job profile was also reflecting in the kitchen area.

Our office was nothing like a typical boring workplace. Noa had given us enough freedom to enjoy while working as long as the quality of the job wasn't compromised. She had bought office games for us to keep the atmosphere stress free. We had a big dartboard on the wall which was often used whenever systems issues would creep up giving us free time. The guys had damaged most part of the wall around the dartboard showcasing their talent in aiming the target. Only Kaku would hit the bullseye. As playing music was allowed in the office, Or would play some amazing English songs from Youtube. One song became the office anthem due to its super cool lyrics and video. It was 'Men's Not Hot - Big Shaq'. I hadn't seen a more casual office than that ever before with excellent work ethics. Our motto was Work Hard Party Harder.

Or had introduced me to something very exciting on his laptop. That magical thing was called Netflix. It had hundreds of movies and serials of high-quality video and content. I had heard about it long back but had never seen it in reality. Or gave his account access to me to watch it. The first serial which gripped my attention was Narcos. After watching the first episode only I got hooked on that crime thriller drama. I was fascinated by the quality of content and video making skills of the creators. I would watch 2-3 episodes of 1 hour back to back at night. Later I watched a few more serials and a couple of movies but nothing gripped my attention like Narcos. Pablo Escobar became the heroic good guy even if he had committed many heinous crimes. I wondered how the director had the power to change the perception of the viewers. I would go to sleep thinking about the Medellin cartel of Colombia and DEA.

Office Time Was Quite Adventurous.
