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.)

PG TipsYes, many many years ago I had a temp job at the company that makes the tea that those chimps loved so much. It was about £1.20 an hour, so you can guess how long ago it was.
My job was delivering the post in the head office and it went like this ....
On the hour, load up the trolley with all the mail, mosey round 2 or 3 floors handing out the post and chatting to the lovely ladies. At quarter past the hour, return to the postroom and sort out the collected post. The next 44 minutes were spent reading, chatting, smoking and drinking tea.
No skiving necessary, that was the job, bloody fantastic.
One bloke, an old union guy was 'let go', because they thought it would be a good idea to use a little of the free time to print up some envelopes with shareholders addresses on, about 30 mins a day - and the twunt refused to do it on the grounds it wasnt in his job description !!
