How to look "busy" at work

Thursday, July 12, 2007

First off, not that I suggest doing any of the following, but here are some ways to look "busy" at work:

I found this article online and thought I'd share.

1) Always have a work related question or statement ready that you can fire off at a moment's notice while socializing with a co-worker. Something like: "This is exactly why brainstorming is so important, that's a great idea _______ (insert name).

2) Leave a cup of coffee and bakery bag on your desk at night and leave your computer running. When you're late the next morning, everyone will think you've been there all evening. Genious!

3) Always carry a file folder with at least one sheet of paper inside. Scribble a note on it so it looks like you have a list of tasks.

Funny, reminds me of a guy who I used to work with. Said person, was totally under qualified for a management position - it was Free Title Day or something. He was always walking around with a clipboard and looking like he was in a hurry! Totally true, a clipboard makes you look important!
