Office is slow as molasses today. I’m in desperate need of ideas on how to look busy. I’ve already paged myself and ran back to my office in a panic. That’s good for about 10 minutes.

Dial Movie Phone or some automated repeating phone service. If you are required to be on the phone.

Go to get Chipotle, purposely forget to guacamole, leave to go get guacamole, tell people that the burrito got cold, and go get another burrito.

Don't forget when leaving your office to always have a folder / notepad in hand. People won't bother you when going to / from destination if you look like you're already on a mission!

[2011CrazE89]

I have papers spread all over my desk. Pointless, useless, pieces of paper. I should probably take advantage of this down time. Tomorrow is going to be a day from hell.

I was just on a "very important call" when that loud obnoxious message came on.

"If you'd like to make a call please hang up and try again. If you need help, hang up and then dial your operator."

[Mr Tonka]

Every once in a while say "You've GOT to be kidding me!!?!?!" loud enough for people to hear you, while covering you face in apparent frustration. If someone asks, tell them your TPS report went out without a cover page. Next time tell them someone stole your stapler. Next time, do it at the fax machine after dialing a wrong number several times.

I like to use "NOT NOW"!

You can also cut ESPN articles and paste them in to an email so it looks like you're reading emails

Hahahaha

Put up a sign on the door "Go away, bating!"

[Jumbosock]

Just watch that Seinfeld episode. Costanza covers some good points. I think one of the main ones is to look really annoyed all the time and walk fast. Another one was building a sleeping area under your desk... but that only works if the rear of your desk faces a wall.

[Rotorocious]

we used to do this in HS in the library.

1.Set the desktop background to something school relevant (or work) like some research articles. Background must be clear of icons.
2. Do what you want.
3. Gotta switch back and look busy? Hit Windows key + D.
4.???
5. Don't get fired and profit

The good news is - I’m heading out the door in 20 minutes and I’ve successfully made it through the day looking like I closed million dollar deals!

The bad news is - Now I need to look busy at home so the wife doesn’t ask me to fix the stupid toilet.

[ShocknAwe]

Just fix the stupid toilet. 5 minutes of work is easier than jacking around pretending. Unless your wife is one that once you do one thing she hits you up for 20 other chores, in which case I pity you.

We have two others. I'm trying to put it off until the weekend. I had a tough day at the office Lol.

[Lups]

IRC via putty. Confuses most people into thinking you're doing something important when you actually are just talking shit with friends. I use this in parks all the time and the hens leave me alone since I'm working.

Also, glasses. Have those, chew the ear thing like you are thinking of something important.

Shoes, never wear anything sporty, the louder the noise that they make, the more efficient you appear to be.
