Slacking off at Work #3

In part three of the five part series, we teach you the reader, the importance of Calling Yourself.

Whether your title or job description says sales or not, you're a salesman, because a key to slacking off at work is selling your superiors that you are much more productive than you really are. One of the easiest ways to do this is by having a phone that is ringing off-the-hook.

Now if you're like us, and played The Emperor, in your fifth grade classes performance of The Emperor's New Clothes, and are confident in your acting skills -- go ahead and dial your desk number from your cell, when the boss is milling around nearby, and carry-on a conversation with a nondescript middle-of-the-road client. If you're not ready for the big leagues of faux chit-chats then at the very least make sure your ringer is distinguishable from others and get that phone ringing when your leaving for lunch, are on a smoke break or using a G2E.

"That No-Look, No-Catch reader is sure doing a great job. They've got clients/customers/question asking co-workers, calling very consistently throughout the day. I'm going to disregard those naps they take after lunch."
