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?

Working on a portal
Just as the original dotcom bubble burst, I was taken on as webmaster for a new portal being set up. This was destined for failure because the ISP division of the company already had a portal. Yes, it was KC I worked for, I don't care. It was 9 years ago.
Anyway, in order so people had something to look at because the URL was posted on the side of buses and the like, I was given a bit of content and tasked with knocking up a 2 page introduction for the site.
At the time, I was quite familiar with Dreamweaver v2. They said I could use Frontpage.
Gee cheers.
In order to distract me from stringing up, I began to consider including an 'Easter Egg' in the page.
Being just static html pages, the best I could do was to insert a line from a Monty Python sketch.
<META NAME="description" CONTENT="Zerr ver zwei peanuts valking down the Strasse, und von vas assaulted. Peanut. Ho ho.">
The only person who noticed during the two weeks it was live was the subcontractor guy whose job it was to maintain the Goldmine database.
