1.Page yourself over the intercom. (Don't disguise your voice.)
2.Find out where your boss shops and buy exactly the same outfits. Always wear them one day after your boss does. (This is especially effective if your boss is a different gender than you are.)
3.Make up nicknames for all your coworkers and refer to them only by these names. "That's a good point, Sparky". "No I'm sorry I'm going to have to disagree with you there, Sport."
4.Send email to the rest of the company telling them what you're doing. For example "If anyone needs me, I'll be in the bathroom."
5."Hi-lite" your shoes. Tell people that you haven't lost your shoes since you did this.
