I once had a job where we had six months to train employees in the "India development center" how to do our current work and then we were supposed to find new jobs. Due to timezones every question took a minimum of a day to answer.

I would show up late, answer yesterday's questions, dash off an email with some new description (6 months was far too much time to explain the job to them) and then spend the rest of the day reading in my office, taking long lunches, and running out for an "errand" which would involve going home to play league of legends for a couple hours.

It was amusing for a time, but I enjoy being productive more.
