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.)

typical daybecause the network was so rubbish, and company spending on work stations was dire when i worked for HP, it would take about 40 minutes to an hour for my pc to actually start doing anything, download updates, restart, download emails etc.
so i would wander off for breakfast. and complain to my manager that i needed a new laptop.
then the next 30 minutes was taken up reading emails and filtering out all the news, and other crap that got sent around the network for the staff.
i would reply to a few emails, and go for lunch for an hour.
then reply to some emails and do some work for about an hour or two.
then it was coffee time which took about 25 minutes
and then home early for 430 to avoid the traffic.
of course if i hadnt underclocked my work computer, and had all my emails stored on the network i *might* have been able to work a bit quicker. oh well!
