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.)

beep-beepity-beep-beep, look at shelves with worried lookthis is the way to keep yourself looking busy while doing nothing useful while working on a cigarette kiosk at morrisons.
our assistant manager seems to have the opinion of front end staff that if we're standing still, we're not working and are fair game for being stolen and made to face up stock.
so you press buttons on the tills while looking slightly worried (a favourite is looking for barcodes that start with my phone number), or print off reports from the lottery machine and scrutinise them closely, marking the lines off with a pen.
another good one is having a damn good look at every single label on the shelves. this makes it look like you really give a toss about your job, whereas you are in fact fantasising about a job that doesn't resemble hell so closely.
gargh. I hear sainsburys are hiring.
/EDIT StrangeKristine - I'm a BOY. Called ROB. whatever made you think I was a girl?
