This always happens to me, the time when all letters have been printed and replied. And still you have to look like busy even if in fact, you really have nothing to do because Boss would keep on looking to what you are doing. It's not a very good rule actually, you have to keep yourself busy or else, the boss would think you're impotent and just wasting his money to you. Here are some tips to look like you're so busy (even if it's really not).
- First and foremost, the very important, never meet your boss' eyes. It's a number one rule because you would look like you were watching for him. You have to be careful. Just look on your PC, hold a ball pen and pretend you're thinking of something really important.
- Go to the toilet as if you're being chased, like you don't have the time to go to the toilet. Then, stay there for at least five minutes. Don't exceed to seven minutes. And return back to your seat like you have a lot of paper works.
- Drink or eat some snacks like you don't have some spare time either. Eat fast like you were always in a panic. At least you're getting full instead of falling asleep because of the boring ambience.
- Surf the internet. Surf what's latest. But minimize the window first. Just be careful not to get caught, okay?
- If you're doing emails or whatsoever, try blogging. Write whatever you like and then when lunch break came, you may copy paste it to your blog site. Like what I am doing now.
You can follow any of this, but don't forget to be alert. And make sure that you have already finished your job before fooling around. Still do your job to the best of your ability to reach your goal. Anyway, office work isn't that bad. At least you've got your monthly salary, right?
