Humour, apparently is the best pretense and defense mechanism. It can also serve as an offense mechanism, when used with some effort and careful consideration. And coming across as being light hearted, especially at work, is quite important. I may be rather opinionated here, but, this was just one of the many theories I had come up with during my youth ;-)
And then, there was this theory about how most human beings depend on work to keep them mentally occupied, and even if there wasn't too much work to be done at the workplace, it helped one engage oneself in some activity, irrespective of the social, commercial and personal utility value of the activity.
It is the weekends which are particularly curiosity arousing.
On weekends, there is no running away from boredom or solitude or the otherwise successfully suppressed lack of direction that most amongst us hate to admit.
Of course, some people meet up with friends, some others "chill out", a few others have hobbies and interests and some of them actually have a lot to do on weekends. Even I had once (jocularly?) claimed that I work to keep myself mentally occupied between weekends.
But, some weekends expose our weak ends.
Distractions often do the trick, and this weekend was a tricky one no less ;-)
Peripheral talking has been a disease that has always plagued me, and I now realise that I need a separate post to brag about what I did on a Saturday in the Capital.
This post was only about the theories I guess ;-)
