Eat a chewy bagel that must be ripped apart with the teeth, at the front desk
Spread cream cheese with the index finger
Stare blankly at blond freshman when she asks a dumb question, inwardly stick a pin in the freshman voodoo doll
Hope the staff meeting lasts longer than expected in order to thwart students wanting to see their advisors
Realize that thwarting students would really only create more problems, scratch that last one
Watch the phone ring a few times before answering in order to avoid the appearance of eagerness/ lack of more important things to do
Take unattractively large bites of bagel because no one is watching
Write about it on my blog

Take Jane Austen action figure to work and place on front desk. When patron makes stupid request, move action figure's head from side to side, saying, "Jane doesn't want me to do that".
If patron has indicated recognizing whom action figure represents, substitute, "Jane wants me excessively not to do that".

Build a small shrine to a lesser-known Nordic deity on your desk. When asked, reply that as cold as it's been this season, you're pretty sure that Fimbulwinter is upon us and that Ragnarok is nigh; if you get on the gods' good sides now, you might make it to one of the better afterlifes. When they look at you funny, ask "What, have you never read the Edda?"
This is not something to learn the hard way. Trust me.
