Sitting on bench - 1

3 days have been long ones and I am upgrading myself each day in learning new ways to pass time. Thankfully, the IT guys here havent gone much into blogging, so livejournal access is not restricted. ( *touchwood* ) 

I have a landline with a voice mailbox service, which I havent used for the past 3.5 years I have been here. But today, when I saw the red light indicating new msgs, I was curious to hear the messages left, if any ! First I had to reset my password, as I havent done this in so many years. 

fter getting the setup done, I begin with the first message, which is on March 5th from Rash ! I wonder why Rash has called me on 5th march,  when she knows I am out of office.  I go on with a couple of more, and I get confused, until I hear May 9th and I realize these msgs are of 2007! 

If I setup this system, I would do it on a LIFO basis instead of FIFO, bcos I am more worried about the recent most msgs ! May be in this situation, I may not be worried about older msgs, bcos I know they are older than a year ! On second thoughts, perhaps FIFO would be the ideal one, the msg left earlier needs to be attended to first!

Most of the people here, dont have the habit of leaving a msg, bcos none of us here open voice mail boxes. So, when I browsed through msgs, they were mostly from colleagues and managers from my client plce, and it was a nice journey of recap of project status happening a year back ! 

I deleted many of the msgs, except few from my client, bcos it gives me a nice feeling to realize the extent of hectic work I had earlier ! Other msgs were from these advertizing companies and were mostly blank. 

A couple of msgs were without a name left, so I had a guess_who game set all for myself, I couldnt recognize the voices, and the extension numbers were also hardly recollectable. I tried digging my brain as to what was said to me on Nov 11th,2007 and guessing who that could be ! Then I lookup at the ext number in the telephone directory and check if my guess right. 

I finally found out that the total messages which can be stored is 35. So I didnt receive any messages after nov 16th, 2007.
Now I have cleared voice mailbox and looking for other time pass stuff
