a colleague who transforms from a hard-working, concientious individual into a web-surfing, joke-emailing, prank-pulling, clock-watcher in the last hour of the working day.
transformations often occur earlier on fridays or on any day the distracticon knows they won't be in the following day.
also applies to family/friends/partners when something of interest enters their circle of awareness, resulting in vacant looks later when reminded of what they'd promised earlier (whilst distracted)
