This is a question Why should you be fired from your job?

I spent three years "working" in the Ministry of Agriculture carefully crafting projectiles out of folded paper and drawing pins that I would then fire at colleagues with an elastic band. On discovering I'd been conducting all-out warfare when I should really have been in a field counting cows, I was asked to "reconsider my career options" outside the service.

Why, then, should you be fired from your job?

My boss went on sick leave for about 6 months
SO, my daily routine became this:

9:00 - leave home
9:05 - arrive work & chat to mates
9:15 - sit at desk, read email, do "daily" workload for 30 mins
9:45 - morning break! Cooked breakfast OR coffee & cake in one of the work cafeterias.
10:45 - arrive back at desk, surf web.
12:00 - LUNCH BREAK! Egg & Chips and 2-4 pints of cider at the cricket pavillion bar on work campus.
14:00/14:30 - back to desk, check nothing has gone wrong, surf web and much network gaming with colleagues.
15:45 - Afternoon break! Game of pool, coffee & cake
16:30 - back to desk, do my own errands etc.
17:00 go home.

Even better I was the team leader so used to give my "team" the same breaks and sometimes insisted they join me for a pint.

After 6 months of doing less than 4 hours work a week I quit and went backpacking in Australia. Much to my own amusement I managed to time it so I left a week before my boss returned from sick leave so I didn't have to talk to her :-)
