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.)

Nothing very clever...I'm a tutor so I can't really slack off. If an appointment doesn't show up, though, we hang out and have vulgar discussions, often about literature (we're nearly all English majors).
I used to work in the equine department of a petstore. When it was slow (not many people think, "It's 11am on a workday; I'll go buy a bridle!"), I would sit at the desk with our catalog nearby, and read the equine magazines we had. If a manager came by, I would quickly switch to the catalog and pretend to be looking up an item for a customer.
