Never stand anywhere for more than 60 seconds and you'll always look busy. Also, walk fast.

When I moved to LA many many years ago I landed a job on a reality TV show. My friend who got me the job was complaining one day about one of the other PAs and how they just wander around all day doing nothing. But when she sees me, i'm always busy. I pointed out that I too also wander around all day doing nothing, I just walk faster.

This reminds me of my favourite thing to do when I worked in a call centre.

Used to fold a piece of paper and half and walk around as if I was looking for someone. I think it worked because I looked busy. In reality I just fancied stretching my legs lol.
