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.)

Data EntrySo mindnumbingly dull. I was doing it in a temp job for the police. The office staff there turned their noses down on data-entry clerks. I was typing up contact details of all the police in the area. Started reading Filth by Irvine Welsh and taking the book to work to read at lunchtime with its inoffensive cover.
After two weeks I'd had enough and started putting information like "Superintendent filth" and "Sergent bacon" into the system, not particularly through malice since I knew it wouldn't affect anyone I knew but got the sack later that day and felt relieved.
