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.)

Database ReplicationI'm fortunate (!) enough to have a small server running on my desktop. I mainly use it for storing MP3s and the like, but that's not important right now.
Downloaded a copy of Microsoft SQL Server and went hunting on the LAN for insecure databases. A few clicks later and I can schedule all of these databases to replicate themselves across the LAN onto my machine, where I promptly delete them and try again.
Result - top talker on the LAN, task manager with lots of spikey green lines and a request for a bigger and better server to be delivered. Everyone seems to think I'm really busy, yet no one has questioned the logic of transferring gigabytes of redundant data around the lan, or even asked me to produce a report on it.
I love working for governments.
