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.)

Sunday shiftnessI work in the clothes section of what is supposedly one of Britain's best garden centres. Don't ask me why.
Anyway, as it is a Bank Holiday, I figured I should attempt to skive twice as much. Here's how it went:
9:40 - Arrive, 10 minutes late, then spend about 10-15 minutes checking the rotas, and eating shortbread.
10:00 - Declare 'I'm hungry.' Go and get toast and drinks for myself and supervisor. Restaurant is 'busy' so 10-minute trip turns to half an hour, including a sneaky fag break.
10:30 - Eat toast and drink tea. Avoid eye contact with customers.
11:00 - Another staff member arrives. Chat for half an hour.
11:30 - 15-minute break, soon becomes 25 minutes.
11:55 - Tidy some golf sets, doodle, eat more shortbread.
12:30 - Serve customers fo a bit, messily shove their clothes in their bags when they aren't looking.
13:00 - Tidy the desk, stand around
13:25 - Leave, 5 minutes early.
Ah, I love Bank Holidays
Apologies for girth.
