On days like today when I don’t feel like doing any work, I hang around my co-workers’ desks until they leave to go to a meeting or get coffee. Then I quickly sit down behind their computer, call up Outlook, and send an email from that person’s account to that person’s account, with the subject line “Note to Self: I am an idiot.”

Eventually they come back and check their email, but I’m already back at my desk playing Tetris, so my alibi is unassailable.
