1. How many sickies do you take a year? (be honest!)
  I never take sick leave even when I’m actually ill.
  Only a couple, the guilt tends to override the enjoyment.
  As many as I can get away with!
 
2. Do you spend much time surfing the net when your boss isn’t looking?
  Yes, my list of ‘favourites’ gets longer every day.
  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.
 
3. How much spam do you send to your friends and colleagues?
  If I find something really funny, I send it round.
  Loads - we all need a laugh sometimes.
  None, it’s a waste of their time and mine.
 
4. How many personal calls do you make a day?
  I rarely make personal calls when I’m at work, it’s not my phone bill.
  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.
 
5. How long does it take you to make a cuppa?
  I spend most of the day gossiping over the teapot.
  As long as it takes to boil the kettle.
  If my works getting dull I can spin out a tea round to 20 minutes!
 
6. Have you ever used the ‘alarm clock didn’t go off’ excuse?
  Once or twice, when I’ve been feeling too rough to get in on time.
  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.
