Any good office has a worker who tries to show everybody how diligent they are.

This worker is always the first one to come in and is always running around with a clipboard in his hand and always showing how busy he is.

You might not even know what that person's job really is or whether that person has any connection with your own job. The issue is that this person is trying to make an impression on everybody else including the boss and that's why the person is so busy running around the whole time.

People never bother asking this diligent person to do them a favor. The diligent always looks so busy doing his own thing that everybody else feels bad about burdening him still more with some of the work that they really could handle if they just worked harder.

Perhaps this diligent person is using this facade as a way of actually avoiding work. Everybody is looking at how busy this person supposedly is. Nobody knows whether this person is actually doing work, but nobody is going to bother him by giving him extra work.

Is he putting on a show so that others will not give him extra work and so that he can actually avoid work? Is he doing his own private work at that time and that's why he's running around? Is he actually accomplishing anything for the firm? Does he have some reason for looking so busy? Is he doing the work of more than one person? And if not, why is he taking this effort and working so hard to show other people how much he is working? Does he have time to do any work after he has demonstrated how busy he is?
