1. How many sickies do you take a year? (be honest!)
  Only a couple, the guilt tends to override the enjoyment.
  As many as I can get away with!
  I never take sick leave even when I’m actually ill.
 
2. Do you spend much time surfing the net when your boss isn’t looking?
  I like to check out the weather and book flights online but that’s about it.
  If things are quiet, I can spend the odd afternoon browsing online.
  Yes, my list of ‘favourites’ gets longer every day.
 
3. How much spam do you send to your friends and colleagues?
  Loads - we all need a laugh sometimes.
  None, it’s a waste of their time and mine.
  If I find something really funny, I send it round.
 
4. How many personal calls do you make a day?
  Perhaps a couple a day - mainly around lunchtime though.
  Five or six - I’m not going to let my job get in the way of my social life.
  I rarely make personal calls when I’m at work, it’s not my phone bill.
 
5. How long does it take you to make a cuppa?
  As long as it takes to boil the kettle.
  If my works getting dull I can spin out a tea round to 20 minutes!
  I spend most of the day gossiping over the teapot.
 
6. Have you ever used the ‘alarm clock didn’t go off’ excuse?
  Yes, I alternate it with ‘the train was late’, so no-one gets suspicious
  No, I keep two alarm clocks to make sure I wake up.
  Once or twice, when I’ve been feeling too rough to get in on time.
