:: The Art of Asking Question ::


I consider my office room is pretty strategic. The elevator is just a few steps away.  Opposite my room is the musolla.  I could actually see who's going in and coming out of the musolla.  I could even check if they spend extra time in the musolla, i.e. napping :P.  and the washroom is just behind the elevator.  Perfect!

But as they say, too much of good thing is bad.  I dont quite have the privacy that I wish I could have.  Some of these guys would always, as in everyday, drop by the room and say hi right after they came out of the musolla and ask for the time.  

And I arrived at the philosophy of my own that it was a cynical remark made, and last Monday I bought this wall clock and perfectly hung it on the wall  just outside my room.  Ideal for them to see without having to ask me of the time.

But I was wrong, they still came into my room and ask me question.  This time -  'Is that clock right?'

  4. Maybe they just like you or you have a friendly face. But that's the thing about being in a location that looks like a 'front-desk'. Hang in there.
