How to be non-serious in office?

So I take the liberty of putting across the solution as it appears to me right now.....in my blog ;-) Let there be more than 1 workplace where you have invested yourself. Probably one for mind but one  more definitely for the heart.....meaning there should be at-least one place where you work heartily!! Hope this helps... Ashok
