I was lucky enough to land a job in a call center for reporting business conduct issues. We were a 24/7 operation, but business was very slow in the off hours so there was only one staff member on at these times. Of course I volunteered for the slowest shifts (graveyard and weekends) so I could play poker at work without anyone knowing. If a call came in, I would sit out, do my work, and then return to playing poker. I could easily get in 6,7, or even 8 hours of playing during one 10 hour shift.

Of course, they eventually found out and fired me, but I would have quit if they didn't as I was making 3 times as much playing poker as I was working. And for the record, I was fired for downloadiing unapproved software onto the company network, not for playing poker at work in and of itself. Also, getting fired was the best thing that ever happened to me, career wise, as I have been a full time poker player since and have never looked back.
