Afternoon.
Past 2PM.
It was a time when people easily doze off. After having their fill and working for half a day, the colleagues at the Internet Surveillance Bureau were yawning. Then, they forcefully carried on working. Some made a cup of coffee or tea, while others slacked off and browse the internet to chat to refresh themselves.
"So tired."
"Me too. I slept very late last night."
"Sigh, to work overtime over the new year. I wonder which year I’ll be able to take a break."
"Look at all the other public servants, they are all enjoying themselves."
Some of them grumbled, but did whatever work had to be done.
