You are the first to arrive and last to leave work because the office is your second home. Organising meetings, sending out e-mails, and creating PPTs, give you an adrenaline rush. Your idea of fun is ticking tasks off the list, and you’re a pro at it. While you are reading this, you’ve already chalked out your entire day, and have mentally designed a structured schedule to ace all the tasks.
If your teammate asks you, “What time is it?” and you respond, “It’s Coffee-o-clock”, then, dear BYJUite, you are a Procaffeinator! The one whose to-do list has to wait until after the first cup of coffee. You can brew amazing strategies and ideas, but only once you have had your dose of morning caffeine.

Conversations come to you easy! You love stopping by your teammates’ desks to discuss work, reality shows, and that amazing cocktail place you discovered over the weekend. You can chat about anything under the sky and you are the designated go-to person for all the front-page news and gup.

You are known to raise the spirit of your team and are an absolute joy to work with. You not only boost their morale but also give them a quick Ted talk (not the saccharine dialogues but one with practical lessons and much-needed affirmations!) Your colleagues often find themselves coming to you for advice and you have a large circle of associates at work. You are the influencer of the team!
You are the gatekeeper of secrets! You are always ready to lend an ear, shoulder, or a bucket of cookies ‘n cream when someone needs to vent. You always make sure to take care of everyone. You are up for advice on anything and everything. You are called the ‘Office BFF’ because everyone confides in you and feels comforted after the conversation.

I'm Naqshib Nisar aka the Ministry of Happiness. A digital journalist who can write anything under the sun. When I'm not writing, I'm definitely discovering hidden gems of a city or exploring the food culture. Being a language enthusiast, I grasp words from songs I don't really understand. I'm mostly in the procaffeinating mode because coffee comes first. Hit me up if you ever want to find the best cappuccino and croissants in Bangalore.
