eyeservice

When an employee pretends to be working hard only when his boss is watching. Basically, he starts working only when the boss comes walking by..
Jim had the ultimate sinecure. As a call center worker for a company that more resembled the governmental bureaucracy than a competitive firm, he got to play Yahoo Checkers all day, and whenever his boss came by he switched to eyeservice mode, quickly pressing alt+tab and staring at a spreadsheet, while saying "Hmmm... we've logged 37% today and ... uhh... oh hi Sir, I hope you're having a splendid day!"

Boss: "why I'm doing fine. Thank you. And how are those call logs coming a long?"

Employee: "Oh, they're pretty good. My rankin...I mean my sorting algorithm works fine now."

Boss: "Great, well, I'll see you around then. "

Employee: "See you around.... *alt+tab* (mumbling) ... dammit I'm outta time and my ranking went down to 1370.. "

doorwall 

A door wall is a sliding-glass door or patio door. The term is yet another example of banal Michigan vernacular, where in the residents latch on to company names, trademark names, marketing terms and product names from local companies. The terms become embedded in the local vocabulary and eventually become accepted as actual valid words and phrases. In this case the term comes from Wallside Windows in Taylor, MI (a large window manufacturer), where 'door wall' is their created word for sliding-glass door.
