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.)

Not much slacking-off,really, but our school has plenty of "free lessons" - no students are booked in.
This usually means we have to find something constructive to do, as it isn't considered free time.
I often find that telling the office staff that I'm going to the loo can buy me at least a 15 minute break, 20 if they're with a customer and thus distracted. Not much, but I can have a smoke, get some sun (our school doesn't have any windows!!) and relax.
I can also use the excuse that I'm buying resources. Some time later - "Oh, I couldn't find it! Sorry I took so long!" This works well with the boss.
When the boss isn't at work, we just sit around and talk shit, and save any jobs for when she's there.
Worst thing is, I can't chuck a sickie because, due to the wonders of company accommodation, I share a place with the boss ...
