take the quiz. (http://money.guardian.co.uk/quiz/questions/0,8672,773436,00.html?)

What kind of a waster are you? Either you're really smart at looking busy or you're about to get a call from personnel and a brown envelope containing your P45. On the plus side, you always buy a round in the boozer and you have the latest showbiz gossip in the office, so you're perennially popular.

What a gem you are. You know how to plan and delegate, but you understand the need for the personal touch and you are careful to ensure that you don't miss out on networking opportunities. You care about the people who work for you and you are mature enough to reward yourself at the end of a long project. Are you sure you didn't cheat?

Well, what a coincidence:


Either you're really smart at looking busy or you're about to get a call from personnel and a brown envelope containing your P45. On the plus side, you always buy a round in the boozer and you have the latest showbiz gossip in the office, so you're perennially popular.

I'm not sure how accurate the 'always buy a round' claim is, but as for being pernennially populare, thanks for noticing ;)

I'd do the quiz but I really don't do ANYTHING at work all day - apart from play computer games and watch tv or dvd's - so I guess there's not much point :)

Are you a workplace time-waster?
You are a disciplined planner and a dynamo at work. You're so competent that lesser mortals quake in their boots as you pass. Are you sure you're not the boss? Beware that your machine-like efficiency doesn't make you such a miserable, humourless swot that no one ever invites you down the pub again. And what are you doing wasting your time on a quiz like this when you could be delegating?



as if :D :D :D :D :D

Damn, I need to have a word with the boss...!! :D

Oh, that's ok, he says it's fine to spend a few hours each day that could be used for work filling in quizzes like this and posting messages on Cable Forum...! :rofl:

Nice quiz!

I like to reward my work with fun so will always take a detour to go chat to colleagues in another department or offer to go pick up the sandwhich's. You'd go insane otherwise!
