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.)

Before the train-driving lark (which isn't a skive at all).....Back in the good ol' days of IT (when we all used to get paid shedloads because we were the only ones who knew about that kind of stuff) we'd just invent different names for simple pieces of kit [floppy drive = Magnetic Interface Module or Ethernet Card = Hardwired Uplink]. Why? Because you can get away with all sorts of skives when your boss/supervisor doesn't understand a word you're saying. (because he was a total idiot, and a technical numpty aswell).
"Just got to go and reconfigure the Hardwired Uplink, but it's going to take AGES* using the Magnetic Interface Module. Probably take most of the afternoon."
*- Enough time for a 2 hour lunch break and the rest of the afternoon playing Doom.
