My boss's office is very close to mine.
When I leave before the boss at night, I move like a ninja. I print something to make extra noise outside of my office while I zip up my gym bag. It takes me a full minute to take my coat off the hangar without letting the hangar touch the door at all. I shut off my desk lap so gingerly that it sounds like a mouse dropping a kernel of corn.
When I get in before 8 am and my boss is already here, I announce my arrival like an earthquake. I throw my bag on the floor and kick it under the desk. I have an extra wire hangar on my door so that I can bang them together as I hang up my jacket. And I print something as soon as I can. Sometimes I cough.
