I've done both of these. The second one ended with me being reassigned next reorganization. I was less than diplomatic when I did it.

I get that one on a daily basis.

I put in my two week notice - Watch an entire season of any TV show at work.

Every night. I actually do not get to take a lunch break as leaving the building unsecured is bad juju.

Guilty as charged

Biohazard: Go to work knowing you should stay home sick

/raises hand

Ahh, the fine art of dragging out your last call so that you didn't start a new one with 3 minutes to go... finely developed by many an employee.

Poser-telling your coworkers that you got your black eye when you were serving soup at the homeless shelter and a homeless man vaulted over the counter and punched you in the eye while yelling "Die! You Soup Nazi!" because you wouldn't give him a second helping. Then giving them the weird eyebrow eye and walking off.
