In addition to the quick click, I've noticed that some engineers will resize and reposition their Firefox windows so that they can appear to be working. This technique is actually better than the quick click; the key to success is your fat head obscuring the lower portion of your monitor while you read your favorite blog (this one) instead of the telltale noise that everyone is familiar with.
