disinternested 

The facial expression describing people otherwise-distracted by the computer but pretending to be paying attention. The face might be turned towards the speaker, but the eyes are vacant, and their hands are still on the keyboard; it’s clear they're only half-listening.
Mom? Mom! I don't appreciate that look of disinternest when I'm trying to tell you my boyfriend just broke up with me!

Yes, I DID tell you I was going away for the weekend; you were disinternested, but I did tell you.
