I'd be good at that
Many moons ago, when I had to work for a living in an office....... I was known as the Tortoise lady as my desk was covered in model tortoises . People would bring them back for me from their holidays and they were all shapes and sizes (the tortoises, not the people!).
We were moving office to another building and had to pack all our desk belongings (including the tortoises) into large plastic crates for the removal men. I thought that I could hide under one of these crates and crawl around the floor pretending to be a tortoise. So, when nobody was looking, I crouched down on hands and knees and pulled a crate over my back and proceeded to crawl across the floor. I couldn't see where I was going as my head was in the crate.
Suddenly, there was a knock on my "shell" and I heard my name. Sticking my head out of my shell in my best tortoise fashion, I looked up, and there was my Boss, of all people!
To his credit, he didn't bat an eyelid or mention it again. Which is more than I can say for the rest of the office who were clutching their sides laughing!!
