How to look busy ah?

 

Hahaha! According to George Costanzer

And for newbies still learning how to look busy.

Enjoy!

 

 

1 - Never walk without a document in your hands.

People with documents in their hands look like hardworking employees heading for important meetings. People with nothing in their hands look like they're heading for the cafeteria. People with a newspaper in their hand look like they're heading for the toilet. Above all, make sure you carry loads of stuff home with you at night, thus generating the false impression that you work longer hours than you do.

 

2 - Use computers to look busy.

Any time you use a computer, it looks like "work" to the casual observer. You can send and receive personal e-mail, chat, and generally have a blast without doing anything remotely related to work. These aren't exactly the societal benefits that the proponents of the computer revolution would like to talk about but they're not bad either. When you get caught by your boss -- and you will get caught -- your best defence is to claim you're teaching yourself to use new software, thus saving valuable training dollars.

 

3 - Keep a messy desk.

Top management can get away with a clean desk. For the rest of us, it looks like we're not working hard enough. Build huge piles of documents around your workspace. To the observer, last year's work looks the same as today's work; it's volume that counts. Pile them high and wide. If you know somebody is coming to your cubicle, bury the document you'll need halfway down in an existing stack and rummage for it when he/she arrives.

 

4 - Use voice mail.

Never answer your phone if you have voice mail. People don't call you just because they want to give you something for nothing -- they call because they want you to do work for them. That's no way to live. Screen all your calls through voice mail. If somebody leaves a voice-mail message for you and it sounds like impending work, respond during lunch hour when you know they're not there -- it looks like you're hardworking and conscientious even though you're being a devious weasel.

 

5 - Look impatient & annoyed.

One should also always try to look impatient and annoyed to give your bosses the impression that you are always busy.

 

6 - Leave the office late.

Always leave the office late, especially when the boss is still around. You could read magazines and storybooks that you always wanted to read but have no time until late before leaving. Make sure you walk past the boss' room on your way out. Send important e-mail at unearthly hours (e.g. 9:35 p.m., 7:05 a.m., etc.) and during public holidays.

 

7 - Use sighing for effect.

Sigh loudly when there are many people around, giving the impression that you are under extreme pressure.

 

8 - Opt for the stacking strategy.

It is not enough to pile lots of documents on the table. Put lots of books on the floor etc. (thick computer manuals are the best).

 

9 - Build your vocabulary.

Read up on some computer magazines and pick out all the jargon and new products. Use the phrases freely when in conversation with bosses. Remember; they don't have to understand what you say, but you sure sound impressive.

 

10 - Don't get caught.

MOST IMPORTANT: Don't forward this page's URL to your boss by mistake!

Do whatever you would be doing if you didn't have to work. If there's a book you want to read, see if you can download it as an e-book and read it on the office computer. Do research on topics you want to know more about. Plan holidays. If you have chores like calling up the bank to ask for a waiver of fees or whatever, do them at the office. Depending on the location of your office, you might even be able to pop out to run errands like depositing cheques or buying dental floss during office hours.

 

I've booked air tickets, bought stuff online, checked my bank account balance, etc at the office.

A well paid job never comes easy, always some sort of sacrifice in your lifestyle.

May be yours is a different sort of mental tortured.

There is no straight forward answer to your open question on "........how much do u consider lowly paid????" it is simply to my opinion the more money you have in your little piggy bank then the higher will be your monthly expenses.
