Phone in the ear always works for me.

Walk around with a clipboard that contains a list of things to do, occasionally look at it, and turn the other way. Repeat.

Walk around with a box.

Carry the same printer paper to different printers.

Start smoking, take breaks in frustration.

Push the same broom in a hallway for a while.

I love having a boss with A.D.H.D.

All I have to do is get to work early, make a full pot of the strong coffee and let my boss drink. Just have to bring up random things that get him going and sit back and enjoy

Masturbate.

Browse through Facebook or Twitter while you're looking at "MS Excel" (with both Windows and Mac themes):

This.

My work in the office is never steady and it goes from enough time to browse websites, drink coffee, sit on the forum and so forth to not having enough time to even fart.

When I am not busy, I simply go to car websites over and over or read the news. I sit in an area where everyone can see this but no cares because when I am needed I can get a 100 things done and have already proved myself.

I just arrange the oranges in order of size from smallest to largest. Then, I arrange them in reverse order. Then, I just kind of stare at the oranges for about an hour. But it looks like I'm working.

I have three back to back meetings today. After that, I'll work on some origami.

This is different if you work at an orange stand. People always want to buy the oranges and makes me have to start all over.

I'd be polishing my oranges after everyone put their dirty fingers on them trying to pick out the best one. Don't soil the oranges with dirty fingers. That's like...., an abomination to the orange world.

ddk632 · 10-15-2014, 11:23 AM

Yes, we use orange polish for that.

I also don't let my customers touch the merchandise until they have selected it. Think of it like what you get at a meat counter.
