36. Keep careful track of religious holidays during each month. Strategically plan conversions just in time to celebrate every major religion's holidays, thus racking up time off.

37. Go to the copier room, cleaning out the restrooms of all toilet paper along the way. Barricade yourself in said room. Turn off the lights, sit on the floor, and tear toilet paper into tiny pieces while mumbling nonsensically to yourself. Rock back and forth while doing this for added effect.

38. Wipe boogers on your supervisor's desk while he/she is talking to you.
