I never know what to say when my boss pops his head in and says "Just checking in!"

I usually say something like "oh, just working" or something painfully obvious... Yell

What do you say to this?

probably just "ok"...

But he stands there and raises his eyebrows like I'm expected to say something or give some sort of update...
And I have been accused before of not interacting enough and making enough eye contact when he does this. So many rules. 

Sounds like your boss is really high maintenance.  One part of me says to just put on a giant grin and start "parade waving" at him.  The more rational business side of me says to simply acknowledge his presence and ask "what's up?".

"Can I have 10,000 marbles please?". Fact: the clerk in that scene is Flounder's real life wife. It took about 35 takes to get it without either of them laughing hysterically.

Lisa, an idea for your boss. If he says "just checking in" say "Very we'll, carry on."

If he's going to check in with you like you're his boss, own it.

That was the parent side of me.

The other side said, "You can work on it tomorrow".

Mornin' y'all.

Ewww, those temps are RUDE.  I really dislike it because we tend to get the next day whatever weather Iowa has today.

I'm about to fire up Netflix so that I have something to stare at while I attempt a 20 min FTP test on trainerroad. Really kinda not looking forward to it.
