This is a question Procrastination

Outlook is a wonderful tool, but not when it keeps reminding you that it is now 96 weeks since you were supposed to finish a report you haven't even started yet.

Just how lazy are you? How long will you put off the essential or the inevitable? What do you fill the time with?

(We're too lazy to write something funny here. You do it.)

Putty
My avoidance of work whilst at work is kind of my main skill, so I may have a few for this QOTW.

There used to be a girl I worked with who I loved to wind up, mainly because she could lose her temper at the drop of a hat. Plus it gave me something to do other than...well, my job. The problem was, she was getting a little bit too easy to annoy.

So one day, out of nowhere, this weird dark blue putty stuff appears on my desk. I think it must have been plastecine. So I decided that rather than do any work that day, I would challenge myself to annoy this girl by only using the blue sticky stuff.

It worked a treat. Her phone and mouse got stuck down while she was busy serving a customer. The slide bolt to open the gate to the enquiry desk where she was working got gunked up with it. Her mug got stuck to the roof of the cupboard, just out of her reach. Her locker got completely gunked up so she couldn't open it.

This took me an entire workday. Oh, and I was the manager that day.

(And for the record, me and this girl are the very best of friends - she has since claimed she misses my abuse since I've gone).
