How I Skive Off WorkAdmit it. No one does any work these days. It's all looking at crappy websites with your thumb hanging over alt tab incase the boss walks over. Tell us your best methods of skiving, and any resultant incidents. (Maybe your slacking off has got someone sacked, or resulted in a large scale industrial accident.)

too many years ago...I was in one of those really cheap shitty 1980’s offices with flimsy panelling walls and windows everywhere from waist height up. It was a really dull job, so sometimes I would tip my chair back so my head was rested against the wall along from the door. It was a sunny office (too cheap to buy us blinds), so you could get away with wearing your sunglasses indoors, so I’d pop them on, get comfy with my pen held poised on a pad (in case anyone passing by should happen to glance in), and go to sleep. If anyone came in, the vibration of the door being opened would fling me forward in my chair, whereupon I would immediately start writing furiously, and thus looking far too busy for questions. It was quite an art I can tell you. The other girl in the office didn’t mind – she was too busy phoning up personals from the local newspaper at £1.50 a minute.
