Workplace Boredom
There's got to be more to your working day than loafing around the internet, says tfi049113. How do you fill those long, empty desperate hours?

Whilst working in the sweet factory
a lot of time was spent watching and waiting for the mixture to come up to temperature. Despite the managements insistence that I spend this time productively, preparing ingredients or washing tools, I preferred to amuse myself in these moments.
Being covered in fudge, and having lots of large plastic buckets at hand, I naturally began testing my ability to lob small fudge balls across vast distances into the buckets. Until, that was, management claimed I was a "bad example" to the packing drones and I should stand up straght and look busy at all times. £3.75 an hour does not spur a nineteen year old to selfless heights of production.
This was the beginning of the end. To alleviate the crippling boredom, I began making small fudge cock'n'balls' and leaving them everywhere.
Apparently, they were still finding them years later.
