Hahahaha!.... I vaguley heard something like this mentioned on a morning chat show... I have no shame in admitting that I often try to waste time during a slow shift at work, ussually in the form of window cleaning or stock rearranging, but in this afternoon's current state of boredom, I googled this theory and my findings were incredible!
How to waste time at work.
1. Drink lots of water and go to the bathroom. Spend as much time as possible (without being obvious) grooming, texting, and general stufifng about.
2. Have lengthy conversations with colleagues. Enthusiastic 'mmhmm'-ing and nodding from time to time should ensure you remain active in the discussion, but also enables one to catch up on some sweet, sweet daydreaming or weekend event planning!
3. Go to lots of meetings. They are the biggest time waster of all, and usually include complimentary crap brand biscuits and copious amounts of tea and coffee (I'm thinking this will only work for the corporates among us)
4. I'd approach this one with caution, but if you happen to have a computer at hand, either amuse yourself on facebook, news sites or enter as many radio station competitions as possible.
5. My favourite--->
Nap #643 -- Fill a coffee mug. Find a low traffic area in the office and spill the contents of the mug on the floor. Lay down on the floor face first with your coffee mug laying on the spill. The purpose is to make it look like you fell, passed out or tripped on something. After you place yourself in position, go to sleep. If someone finds you, they’ll rush to your aide. Have an excuse ready. They’ll think you are hurt or sick, but don’t let them send you home. You don’t want to eat up sick leave, that’s your personal time. Never repeat this exercise in the same location and don’t do it too often. This nap will be less effective if you snore. If you snore while you sleep it’s tougher to pass off sleep as unconsciousness. (Naps can buy you any where from 10 minutes to several hours depending on where you take the nap)
Gosh, I hope I never have to work an office job, or any other job for that matter, that results me in doing something as drastic! funny! hehe!
