People can look busy in an office.

True, and they often drag others into it to make it look legitimate.

I can't go back to the office where I'd have to deal with the "drive-bys" from staff who were intent on filling their day with seemingly important conversations instead of writing a two-minute email.

When I used to work in an office a co-worker was my designated kicker.

Her job was to sit next to me in meetings and kick me when I started to fall asleep.
