    What no photo of his wife in a frame on his desk?, or better still on the memory card in his digital photo frame?
    Never has a man been heard to say on his death bed that he wishes he'd spent more time in the office.

      But what if there isn't a Sally in HR? How would that work?

      Ok then , summon a dragon from the planet nobo to swoop into your workplace and carry him off.

      Or

      Reverse time and reject the contract, and take another one instead.

              I like the coughing idea. Straight in his face without covering your mouth. And then apologise. Every time. Perhaps munch on some raw garlic first.

                Alternatively, everytime you know he's behind you turn and offer him a smint/tic tac/hallitosis sweet.

                Get the others to do the same.

                  Not alternatively, but in combination.

                    Here's a conversational gambit to draw him into (for Spartacus fans):

                    Marcus Licinius Crassus [played by Laurence Olivier]: Do you eat oysters?
                    Antoninus [played by Tony Curtis]: When I have them, master.
                    Marcus Licinius Crassus: Do you eat snails?
                    Antoninus: No, master.
                    Marcus Licinius Crassus: Do you consider the eating of oysters to be moral and the eating of snails to be immoral?
                    Antoninus: No, master.
                    Marcus Licinius Crassus: Of course not. It is all a matter of taste, isn't it?
                    Antoninus: Yes, master.
                    Marcus Licinius Crassus: And taste is not the same as appetite, and therefore not a question of morals.
                    Antoninus: It could be argued so, master.
                    Marcus Licinius Crassus: My robe, Antoninus. My taste includes both snails and oysters.
