Lifestyle advice: Work avoidance strategies

Sharkith · Post by **Sharkith** » Tue Oct 18, 2005 2:14 pm

OK I have a presentation to do next week. Its boring and I have done it tons of times before. The thing is my usual sources of work avoidance are not very fulfilling at the moment.

1) These forums are my first strategy but they have been slow lately.

2) FH well it has gone serioualy down the toilet recently and whilst I still look in there it is getting very sad

3) Email - but I am getting hard emails at the moment that all require effort to respond to so I haven't opened my email for 4 days.

4) Carry some paper around the building

5) carry a chair around the building

Has anyone any other work avoidance strategies they would like to ermmm share?

Sharkith bored..... very very bored....

Spending 10 - 15 mins in the toilet, is always a good way of avoidance. They can't do anything to stop you.

Also surfing the net for something work related that has a 99.99% chance of not being there.

Wondering what i can and can't say on these forums

Satyn,

you have exactly the same problem my wife seems to have.

I would email you but I am so bored I can't think of anything to talk about right now.

Just have akip on the desk ( head on the hands) when someone wakes you up just say Amen. ;P

Turn your desk the oppiste way to everyone else in the office .

End every sentece with Shaka kan.

When someone asks you to do something , tell them that your having a argument with the voice's in your head and you'll get back to them.

These are just a few ;P

Hammer on the desk with both fists, stand up & loudly abuse your nearest co-worker (waving arms, loud voice, scandalous insults, tutti quanti), then sit down & pretend nothing ever happened. I do this all the time, it can get quite entertaining.
