10 tried and tested ways to look busy and do nothing in Itim

I promised a friend to write something for his newsletter. Itim's the place where I used to work and that's what the newsletter is for. The following might seem confined to the aforementioned organization but can easily be adapted at other places too :)

#10 Blankly stare at the MS Outlook window for hours.

#9 Send prints of every email you get and then have little chats with everyone you meet on the way to the printer.

#8 Cover your desk with specs and emails and pretend to be engrossed in them when anyone comes to talk to you.

#7 Have millions of windows opened on your system and periodically press ALT+TAB.

#6 Whine in public about how much work you have to do even though you only need to deliver one FER by the end of the week.

#5 Make infinite revisions to specs and continue to do so even after the component has been delivered.

#4 Have meetings about making revisions to specs.

#3 Talk to your buddy in UK all day long on Skype and claim it’s about P0420.

#2 Spread rumours that you are having trouble in your task and spend hours talking to your pals under the pretense of trying to figure out a solution.

#1 Become a Project Manager.
