Killing time at work

[mac1st3]

Just wondered as I sit downstairs in the office playing with powerpoint to make a map of the store, what does everyone do to kill time/skive at work?

we usually just stand round watching music videos, but have been known to create our own table hockey games using counter tops, answering the phones in abnormal ways and playing on consoles.

let's hear the lazyness!

I wanna work in your place. if we're caught on the internet we get rushed straight into a disciplinary meeting. sad really.

apparently they record internet useage, so if anyone looks at the records and figures out a link, i'm royally screwed

but I've not heard of any instances so far, so *touch wood* i'll be ok, though i hide everything when the real manager comes nearby

Tech news

Reading the latest tech reviews eats up hours.

Do what a bloke in our office does. Friday afternoon is a corker.

1) Print off reams of technical docs, instruction manuals, emails etc..
2) Stand at the printer looking genuinely enthused and a little more excited as each sheet adorns the last in it's neat little stack.
3) Carefully take the new wad of paper (poor tree) and walk towards the other end of the office with a thoughtful and deeply involved look on your face.
4) Inspect each page, top to bottom.
5) Then the back.
6) Shred.
7) Repeat until wad of paper is gone.
8) Congrats, it's 4.30pm - go home!

I kid you not.
