Faking Work Idea #2: Printing Documents

One surefire way to look really busy is to print stuff. Go to your company's network drive and choose a document that is at least 20 pages in length. Open the document and hit the print key. However, make sure you choose a printer that is far away from you. It will take extra time to walk to the printer and each extra second spent walking is an extra second not working!

Once you retrieve the document, stand at the printer and page through the document. Don't actually read anything, just flip through the pages. Nod your head approvingly a few times. Put a look of concetration on your face.

Then, exclaim, "ah, shit!" This will tell everyone that you made a mistake and must reprint.
Do this a few times until you feel enough time has been wasted. This is not the most environmentally friendly way to fake work, but it is a method that can help slowly chip away time

If you use this or any other faking work idea on this site, you assume all the risks. There is a chance you can get caught and get fired. I am not responsible if you get fired. These ideas are for entertainment purposes only.
