"When you look annoyed all the time, people think you're busy" - George Costanza.
One strategy I've been dabbling with for "on camera" remote meetings...1. multi colored strobe light in the background 2. sport a fluorescent safety vest... 12. record outcomes/update "No one injured since (date)" poster... Profit.
If you want to get your buddy the day off do not call in a bomb threat.
