Slacker tip #107 - look completely stressed and overwhelmed
An easy way of making it look like you are working when in fact you are doing nothing is to have it appear as if you are stressed about work stuff.
See, if your boss or co-workers see you looking stressed two things will happen.
One, they will assume that you are stressed because you are working your little ass off.
Two, they will assume that they need to leave you alone because you are clearly busy and you may snap at them because you are stressed.
To drive that last point home, be sure to snap at people if they do try to bother you while you are busy pretending to work.
Loud audible frustrated sounding sighs are also a good way to drive the point home. If you have nosy co-workers that might try to comfort you after hearing one of the sighs, just keep the sighing to a minimum.
