If I sit at my desk a whole string of students and teachers wander in and
start talking to me. I don't get anything done and they think I just sit
and talk all day. So, I brought from home some of the mind puzzles like

their hands off of them. That way they can do the puzzle and I can get
some work done without appearing rude. I am amazed at how well it works.
