Just thought of another...
Whilst working for a Reprographic company, I was supposed to be trained in Photoshop, Illustrator and the like. Instead, I became the company odd-job man. One of my main duties was to keep track of all the imagesetters and work-flow. Of course, sometimes there would be hours of doing sweet F.A. So what i used to do is browse many websites with a Repro file open in illustrator in the background. Any time I thought someone was coming over to me or anything, i would switch to it and say that's what I was doing. All went well for a week or 2, until i was called into the officce and presented with a REAM of printout of, and I quote, "a selection of the sites I'd been on". Jesus! How many sites did I go through!?!

after that, it went from internet skiving to the age old trick of visiting different departments, chatting for 20 mins and moving on to the next with a folder to look busy. That, and playing Solitaire on my mobile in the imagesetter rooms...

Then there was the time I was working off-site at a customers as a Mac Operator. My own desk, my own Mac, sat in the corner with only a wall behind me. Looking through the Mac whilst not busy and what do I find? World of Warcraft and MSN Messenger installed. Cue me chatting to my mates whilst playing on my mate's WoW account with my own character for hours a day. Even got caught playing by the customer's staff. Nothing said, though. Go me!

Click "I like this!" and more Repro stories will follow...

For the love of God
Stop with the 'I Like This' blackmail

If you want to post more Repro stories, go right ahead, but don't expect me to click just to hear them.

I only click 'I Like This' if I genuinely like the post, not because I'm asked to

Sorry, new to the whole posting malarkey, I thought it was something just put, like length jokes.
