We all know the feeling: You are happily checking your Facebook / Twitter / PornHub accounts when, all of a sudden, your boss materializes five steps away from your desk. What to do? I’ll tell you what to do, andย you can thank me later.
In the past, you’d wet your chair while looking at your boss with one eye and checking for a browser tab that showed something remotely work-looking with the other. Naturally, that never worked. Bosses don’t buy that. Bosses are not born bosses. They are masters at checking Facebook and Pornhub and most likely invented the eye-split trick.
Until now, the only way to look like you are doing what you are paid to do is to actually do it. But that means working, and who the heck wants to do that?
Here is where I save your life. Bookmark this page in your favorite browser. Make sure itย is theย first link on the list so it will always be in the same place on your screen. Learn where that spot is and practice clicking on it while smiling at the person in the cubicle across from you. He/she will think you’re weird, but it’s all for a good cause.
Next time your boss materializes close to you, look at him with confidence and ask if you can be of any help. At the same, and without taking your eyes off him,ย click on the link to this page, click on the main image,ย andย surprise your boss with an unquestionable display ofย uber-competence.
For better and continuous results,ย never share with anyone remotely close to your boss. The consequences might be worse than the work you are trying to avoid.
