This is a question How I Skive Off Work

Admit 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.)

my working day
When working from home :

8:30 - get up
8:35 - make a phone call to the boss pretending i have been up a while and already started
8:40 - have breakfast, followed by a bit of morningtelevision
9:30 - Write a couple of emails asking really pointless questions - preferably ones which require in depth answers
10:00 If boss phones, tell him i'm waiting for replies to these emails
10:30 - early elevenses
11:15 - acknowledge receipt of emails and promise prompt reply
11:20 - have a quick troll through b3ta
12:00 until 14:00 - if the boss phones between 12 and 1 i say thats my lunch hour, if he phones between 1 and 2 then the same applies.
14:00 - reply to emails received, maybe make a few phone calls
14:30 - cup of tea followed by biscuits (preferably jaffa cakes)
15:00 - phone boss to ask if he has been trying to email me then explain that my internet connection is down
15:30 - phone boss to tell him my internet connection is back up
15:45 - phone a few customers who generally will not be available at this time as their skiving pattern differs to mine
16:00 - Do a bit of tat in photoshop and send it to office as 'draft' - then afternoon snack, followed by countdown
17:00 - finish 'work'

I make this about an hour and a half of actual work.

/edit and for spastic lequeer and any OTHER pedants out there, yes i know countdown is at 15:15 now, but i might have sky plus so can watch it whenever i choose (although it WOULD be yesterdays episode)
