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.)

Spoiling Colleague Skiving..Used to work for the MOD in testing labs where every item had a set 'test period' thanks to something called the Whitley Committee. Therefore switching the power on, checking the light comes on, and switching it off again was allotted 2 hours to complete.
Worked for an absolute twunt who treated me like his own personal slave, so... He goes on holiday for 2 weeks, I ignore the Whitley recommendations, and test/calibrate every item on his work incoming shelves, which took me 5 days, but was about 8 months work according to the rules. Cue him returning, and desperately trying to look busy for the next few months without a single thing to do. In the end it drove him barking mad and he had a month off with stress.
Serves him right.
Apologies for length, but according to Whitley this should have been 3000 words and taken 2 days.
