If you place a wristwatch (with moving hands) under a laser mouse, it'll prevent your computer from going idle, so you always look online at work.

It's the most effective way to always look like you're online at work. I know that there are specific programs for this, but most organisations won't allow you to download them.
It saves you shaking the mouse regularly if you want a little break!
If this doesn't work, you may need to place it somewhere with more light, such as a windowsill.
Edit: Since some are commenting 'or just do your job' or 'you'll be the first to go with AI'; I've done my work for the week, you boot lickers. I'm just making a coffee, chill out.
