I am a stay at home wife now, but when I worked, I used to sneak a few phone calls in with my girlfriends.

I “clean” my desk by moving things around. Looks like work but nothing actually gets done.

I really try not to waste time at work. We’ve got more to do with less people to do it! But, I will check my home emails on my break.

Not a great question to ask – 75% of employers check social media sites when deciding whether or not to hire someone!!!
But I would love to win this prize!!!

Internet email, getaways, etc but I usually don’t have time for this as I work in a very busy office

As a teacher I rarely had time to waste- if I didn’t want to grade papers or work on plans during planning I would chat with other teachers.

I work in a warehouse in the out bound shipping department (when I’m not loading trailers I’m packing orders). So, I usually go hide in the bathroom because it is usually the coolest place in the summer, or I walk around and make it look like I’m cleaning up the trash and placings things back in their assigned areas.

With my job I have days where I can be super busy and days where I barely have a thing to do, on those days I usually play around online on Facebook and other sides (like today) or read.

Working on my cell phone instead of the computer

Not working these days, but at least where I worked, chatting with coworkers got things done.

While some times are slow at a flower shop, I tend to crochet a blanket or quick scarf for a gift. I’m sure that if my boss found that I do this she would think of better things for me to be doing related to flowers! I also have a stash of pretty paper (that the flowers are packed in) that i use for some decoupage! YAY crafts!

I usually sit and let my residents tell me stories about their lives. I loved listening to the things they went through and the lives they had.

well i’m retired from “work”, all i have is a house and a sick husband to take care of… so i grab a book or sit in my craft space and try not to think of all the things that need to be done.

I don’t work outside our home. I have been blessed to be at home while our children were growing up. I loved every minute of it! They are now all grown and successful, thanks and glory to God!

I just started back at work after 18 years at home…I work in a dept. store, but the dept. I work for (which shall remain secret LOL!) enables me to freely move around the store…so I check out the clearance tables all the time

My job is pretty fun, but there is no way for me to waste time. There is too much to do!!

“Work” for me is being a housewife. What I’m doing right now is my favorite time waster—looking at craft sites for ideas. But, ladies, let’s face it. It’s NOT a waste of time; it’s an education. We are better people for having visited this site and others. Right?

I’ve been a stay at home mom for 8 years now, but when I was working, I would rearrange things in my room. I wasn’t getting what I needed to get done finished, but it looked like I was deep cleaning.

Retired now, but when I worked for the State of New York, my daughter worked in another department, so we would talk as we worked–phone logs didn’t show interdepartmental calls so we never got caught. It really helped boring work go fast!

I owned a retail store, so most of the time I was managing people, but I was also on the internet looking for what to do when I retired, ie crafts!
Would love to glitter my retired ‘work’

Carole M :

well it’s not yet midnight where I am, so I hope this still counts.
right now favourite time waster is playing Words with Friends on my iPhone. I can do it on the sly, but it’s a bit of an addiction.

fav way to waste time at work & not get caught is to rad the newspaper while it’s secretly stashed on my desk!

I do not have time to waste at work….I would feel terrible staying on the clock! But that is my situation, not here to judge!

I am a retired teacher learning to make cards as well as continue to work on scrapbooks. I love the glitter paper,yet I have never had the chance to learn how to use the glitter pack correctly.

Nancy Sapp :

I got laid off from my job. But when I was working & had a few minutes to spare or when I was on break, I would get On-Line & go to YouTube to find new & easy ways to make greeting cards!
Now that I’m home more, I can work on greeting cards more often.
