Have you ever played hooky from work? Or have you secretly played games when you should have been working? What are some of your favorite strategies to slack off at work?
Oh my job is great for slacking off. I work at a Cinema, and we occasionally show movies on DVD in the Cafe. One time the DVD player was broken, and I (being the enthusiastic employee) said I’d bring my PS3 in as it has a DVD upscale feature. Most of the free time that day was spent with a Cinema-wide Wipeout tournament on the 50″ 1080p HD TV. Good times.
Slacking off at work is unethical. You are being paid to do a job. You should wait until you are off the clock to start playing.
Or, own your own business like I do. There is no clock, and you can slack off when you feel like it. :-)

Why, reading PCWeenies of course. Even on odd weekdays :)

Yes, correct.
Btw. the first time I saw the head oh H.R., I wondered why he got a big beacon in his face? Only on second look I know it was a mustache.
