Does anyone have any pointers for staying on task while underemployed?

21. I have a job in which I'm very much underemployed.

Lots of free time. I spend far too much of it cruising the internet, although I never log onto DU from work, just to be on the safe side. '

I've actually been writing, and making good progress on a series of short stories, that could possibly become a novel. I actually have a couple of other novels in draft form, but they're at the point that it's pretty tricky to work on them on the job. I'd have to be entirely too obvious with the stacks of print-out in front of me. The series of short stories, on the other hand, is easy to get away with.

What's mildly hilarious, is that management is highly unlikely to catch on, even though I occasionally make a comment about working on my novel.

I'll have to let everyone here know if something actually gets published.
