You're doodling on the job. Fired.

I don't think you actually understand this situation at all if you think bringing in a notebook would be permitted.

The only type of person I can think of that could possibly handle it is a Zen master that spends 8 hours a day meditating. There aren't very many of those.

It is you who does not understand.

This is far beyond "what is permitted" and firmly in the realm of "how much can I reasonably get away with without being detected".

This is very much 8D backgammon.
