OH looking very busy but achieving little

Anyone else have an OH who is terrifically good at looking busy but achieves very little in reality? Just a little rant.

*for example he has been tidying his desk for the last hour… whilst watching the TV. Not much has changed in that time.

is this during wfh? If so, is his boss happy with his work? if yes, then leave him to it.

He’s working from home but he’s self employed. So I suppose he must be happy with his work Grin

I am great at appearing busy but achieving little. It is a life skill! Fortunately I am now retired so it doesn't matter but I can while away a day appearing busy and not doing much at all.

Is he out of your hair? That would be enough for me. Mine's been playing video games upstairs for the past two days. He can't go to work because of a positive PCR test from a child at his work. As long as he's not making mess it's all good. He's the income earner (I do earn some) so I couldn't care less what he does when off as long as it does not make more work for me as the housekeeper.
