Give me a museum and I'll fill it. (Picasso) Give me a forum ...
Look slightly disheveled, walk around a lot really fast, carrying a clipboard, while staring at the floor and talking to yourself...
Hah. I had a co worker who I would IM to call me on my work phone when Bothersome Bob walked over to my desk. Problem was I woulf say excuse me I have to take this and he would stand and wait for me to end the call.If you want to not be bothered or appeared lost in thought pretend to talk on your iPhone or appear deep in thought on your iPhone without making eye contact.
People stealmmy lunch. Pisses me off. Sometimes I just leave it jn my truck and eat it luke warm lol.Sad to say in the corporate world that even some professionals have no respect for other peers lunches. At Megacorp, the admin staff even had to post signs on the kitchen fridge. " Don't take other people's food". So hands off my lunch.
True that. Another piece of advice...nice shoes are expensive...leave them in the office and commute in your cheap sneakers. Lots of people do this in snowy climates. I once had to borrow a belt to a superior who had a big presentation. He was super grateful his broke.This one's just simple and practical -- I told my (adult) kids this.
If you can, always have a clean shirt (and maybe even pair of pants) in your office. The day of the big presentation is the day you'll spill spaghetti on yourself at lunch.
Learned this the hard way.
Any advice that I could give him?

Now you know who was stealing your lunches.......... I once had to borrow a belt to a superior who had a big presentation. He was super grateful his broke.
