I had a supervisor like that, back in the day at Whitehall. Always toted a folder under his arm, overflowing with papers, even when going to the pub for lunch. He was the idlest bastárd in England but he explained that everyone always thought he must be extremely busy and important. Look at old Jonesy, they'd say; he's always on the go, never takes a break!

It is possible to merely look busy. As LA rightly points out, for some of us, if it's not tracking back, it really doesn't count. It's not our fault; it's the way we were raised, the way we learned the game: Ability without conspicuous effort equals laziness. Germans are very different though; they do not care for honest triers. At school there, they don't give you marks for effort.
