There is no early warning system more useful than the bossman proximity alert. He doesn't troll around the research staff office area often (his office is in an adjacent building), but when he does, we have a chain of command notification and warning system.
Bossman watch: Stage yellow. Bossman has a meeting with someone scheduled soon, in a location that is not his office. Be alert. Hide donuts, candy bar, and leftover pizza.
Bossman warning: Stage orange. Bossman sighted on office floor. Alternatively, Vocal sounds of bossman detected behind doors. Open graphing program/powerpoint/manuscript in revision. Locate journal articles, pretend to read/take notes. Begin eating healthy snacks, display prominently.
Bossman mega-alert: Stage red. Bossman entering research staff office. Greet bossman loudly and vocally, to alert other surrounding lab members. Stay calm. Close facebook immediately, switch to graphing program/powerpoint/manuscript in revision. If you are not his target, work furiously.
