Just like when our QA guy comes by. Course he used to work here so we are actually excited he comes by.

Looks like gramps has had enough with global warming. He's laying down his line in the sand.
MrHainey
Well sailors do a lot of 'tacking' so maybe he's taking it up a notch.
25schmeckles
I’d he *tacking* it up a notch? If my husband were here he’d say “are you proud of that”

Greek once declared war on Poseidon and stabbed the water... Was it Greek?
subcoolsuperheat

Walkung around the workshop at speed and looking determined normally solves this problem for me.

Just sweep a random area to avoid being assigned a task.
GatitoAnonimo
Ha I learned this when I was 15 and worked construction for a summer. Even if you're going to take a piss you better look determined!

Walking around is effort though. Be big brain and hide in the toilet.

When I worked in restaurants and it was slow, I always carried a rag and a bucket so I could pretend to be cleaning things.

Always carry a bolt in your pocket. That way you can say that you're on your way to get a nut for it
ailike
Even if you’re a computer programmer. Still works.

I do programming so this would highly confuse my manager while I slip away in the confusion
MediocreExtremist
or say you're looking for the 10mm thingy ... keeps you busy all day
Nah, everyone knows that is an impossible task
JustFeedMePieDammit
Carry a clipboard too
TinyAngryDog
That's the stuff. Throw in a high vis vest and you're untouchable, lol
DagrOakhollow
Lighter than carrying a ladder.
atvcrash
I carry an iPad and look at it with confusion. Solves all the problems of people bothering me.
BurnieCinders
2-3 empty boxes on a trolley.
ummjakefromstatefarm
I was going to make that suggestion. And if the clip board isn’t a good fit, an empty box taped up works too.

Make sure to have a serious expression on your face.
Very serious, like your on your way to fix a major problem.
