earplugs and a book?

I’ve gone for headphones and non work phone browsing but still sitting in front of laptop (just in case)

hahahahahaha .... keep drinking coffee mate and look interested. 

*nods thoughtfully and rubs chin*

post it note over laptop camera 

I’ve had it with big corporate / big firm life - sucks the life out of you. 

*nods thoughtfully and rubs chin*

But are you making notes? Are you? 

:) 

Notes, you ask? 

i’ll take that under advisement 

If it helps, I am on a headset too at the moment but on mute. There is a whole sea of experts rattling on. 

Are all those things actually true?

When you have to implement so many anti-avoidance measures at some point you have to stop and think wtf are we even doing this.
