Top 10 ways to look busy at work

1- walk really fast when you are going anywhere as to appear something important is going to happen

2- carry a notebook with you at all times. seems like you are suppose to be somewhere taking notes. if at your desk keep it open with a pen on it

3- keep your headset on if you are in your cubicle

4- actually do work but that defeats the purpose. okay more later. any suggestions?

5- shuffle papers

6- look pissed off

7- put up a do not disturb sign when you are browsing the web

8- continually click on a pen

9- walk around with your laptop open, side note: take your laptop home and say you are WFH (working from home)

10- open up Microsoft Word and write blog entries to post later

  1. PFEW..LOTS OF WORK!!
    Those i used to critisize for their “nonchalence” in aljama3a alhadaria back home look all of a sudden very honest.
    at least they were not trying to look busy, they were just having good time nagging people and asking everybody to come back the day after.
    ah casa ya casa..no,seriousely does anybody remember the way they use to deal with our papers..and this cup of tea on the desk.and the sounnd of the chewing-gum…arghh..
    but still,they were not hiding.
    lazy and proud!
    Foulla
